The collection sees the return of some familiar members of the Robertson company, including Strindberg - heading, as usual, towards calamity - and the shape-shifter Dionysus. Four loose retellings of stories of the Greek god form pillars for the book, alongside four short Ovid versions. Threaded through these are a series of pieces about the poet’s childhood on the north-east coast, his fascination with the sea and the islands of Scotland. However, the reader will also discover a distinct new note in Robertson’s austere but ravishing poetry: towards the possibility of contentment - a house, a door, a key - finding, at last, a ‘happiness of the hand and heart’. Magisterial in its command and range, indelibly moving and memorable in its speech, \u003ci\u003eHill of Door\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Pan Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51769775096151,"sku":"9781447231547","price":10.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781447231547.jpg?v=1758722567","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/hill-of-doors-9781447231547","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
