Book Synopsis

Ranging from a celebration of the Holyrood parliament to a dialogue between Jamie Saxt and a skull, from a proposed national anthem to an autobiographical journey through pre-history, this book traverses a Scotland that is irrevocably independent of spirit, yet universal in outlook.



Trade Review

Donald Smith's is a voice we need to hear in Scotland. He has a story to tell, a vision to shape, a song to declare. Donald writes poetry to say something. His deep knowledge of history, myth, story, religion, landscape and literature means that he has much real richness to draw on.
