Beschreibung
'This marvel of a book is a profound meditation on the precariousness of the planet ... these pieces kept bringing tears to my eyes, catching me offguard ... it is what art or, in this case, wonderful writing can do'
Kate Kellaway, Observer
Cairn: A marker on open land, a memorial, a viewpoint shared by strangers.
For the last five years poet and author Kathleen Jamie has been turning her attention to a new form of writing: micro-essays, prose poems, notes and fragments. Placed together, like the stones of a wayside cairn, they mark a changing psychic and physical landscape.
The virtuosity of these short pieces is both subtle and deceptive. Jamie's intent 'noticing' of the natural world is suffused with a clear-eyed awareness of all we endanger. She considers the future her children face, while recalling her own childhood and notes the lost innocence in the way we respond to the dramas of nature. With meticulous care she marks the point she has reached, in life and within the cascading crises of our times.
Cairn resonates with a beauty and wisdom that only an artist of Jamie's calibre could achieve.
Rezensionen
A heart-soaringly beautiful new book
Exquisite ... luminous writing
This marvel of a book is a profound meditation on the precariousness of the planet ... these pieces kept bringing tears to my eyes, catching me offguard ... it is what art or, in this case, wonderful writing can do
[Cairn] is ultimately an uplifting book, exhilarating even, one whose nuggets of imagery and wisdom stay long in the memory
It is not often that the prose of a poet is as powerful as her verse, but Jamie'
<i>Cairn </i>is full of joyous observation, but also warnings ... we forget art as "artificial"
A book of unparalleled beauty and rare exactness of language
Kathleen Jamie'
I put the book down again and thought: '
Kathleen Jamie is a supreme listener ... clear, subtle, respectful, and so unquenchably curious that it makes the world anew
<p><b>Praise for the Findings trilogy:</b><br><br>A sorceress of the essay form. Never exotic, down to earth, she renders the indefinable to the reader'
