Bøker av Stewart Conn

The history and character of Edinburgh inspire every piece in Stewart Conn's new collection. Stewart's poems, paired with John Knight's beautifully detailed illustrations evoke the spirit of the city and its unique aspects. Knight's pieces are not simply illustrative. This work is a collaboration between architect and poet.

This new retrospective by one of Scotland's most distinguished poets supersedes his early collected volumes, In the Kibble Place (1987) and Stolen Light (1999).

A powerful and affectionate evocation of the city in which it is set, presented from the point of view of the marginal and dispossessed who take centre stage. A sombre meditation on human life's fragility, made good by human warmth and community.
