Between the laundry and the fetching kids from school, that's how birds enter my
life. I listen. During a lull in the traffic: oyster-catchers; in the
school-playground, sparrows. lt's surprising what you can find by simply
stepping out to look. Award-winning poet Kathleen Jamie has an eye and an ease
with the nature and landscapes of Scotland as well as an incisive sense of our
domestic realities. In Findings she draws together these themes to describe
travels like no other contemporary writer.Whether she is following the call of a
peregrine in the hills above her home in Fife, sailing into a dark winter
solstice on the Orkney islands, or pacing around the carcass of a whale on a
rain-swept Hebridean beach, she creates a subtle and modern narrative,
peculiarly alive to her connections and surroundings.
