The first ever modern collection of contemporary Scottish writing on nature and landscape, Antlers of Water showcases the diversity and radicalism of modern Scottish nature writing today.Edited, curated and introduced by the award-winning Kathleen Jamie, this collection features a mix of prose, poetry and photography. With contributions from Amy Liptrot, Jen Hadfield, Malachy Tallack, Chitra Ramaswamy, Jim Crumley, Linda Cracknell, Karine Polwart, Gavin Francis, and more, Antlers of Water urges us to renegotiate our relationship with the more-than-human world, in writing which is by turns celebratory, radical and political.
Praise for Kathleen Jamie: A sorceress of the essay form. Never exotic, down to earth, she renders the indefinable to the reader's ear. Hold her tangible words and they'll take you places -- JOHN BERGER
Kathleen Jamie is a supreme listener . . . and in the quietness of her listening, you hear her own voice: clear, subtle, respectful, and so unquenchably curious that it makes the world anew. This is as close as writing gets to a conversation with the natural world -- RICHARD MABEY
The leading Scottish poet of her generation * * Sunday Times * *
It is not often that the prose of a poet is as powerful as her verse, but Jamie's is -- DIANA ATHILL
Her achievement is to make us look again with completely fresh eyes at those creatures and places we had long presumed to know -- MARK COCKER
Kathleen Jamie writes with unparalleled beauty, sharpness of observation, wit, delicacy, strength of vision and rare exactness of language * * Daily Telegraph * *
