Description
From the cobbled streets of Prague, to the rivers and coastlines of the Scottish Borders, Pilgrims journeys through place and time, juxtaposing totalitarian authority in communist Czechoslovakia, fishing communities left without menfolk following storms in the North Sea, and love and longing against the variegated seasonal backdrop of the British Isles. These poems are deft and sensuous explorations of distance and alienation, and of the interaction between joy and sorrow.
