I am very happy to say that I have a new book coming out in August! It is something a little different – a biography in poetry.
The title is “Jofrid Gunn”, and it will be published by specialist poetry publisher Shearsman Books. It has some links to my last book “Daughters of the North”, and I am pleased that it will collect some of my poems which have previously been published individually.
Here’s the blurb from the publisher’s website:
“Jofrid Gunn tells the story of a woman who came from the Faroe Islands in the 16th century to marry into the Clan Gunn, in the north of Scotland. Inspired by the glimpses of lives found in archives, this is a biography in poetry. Each poem can be read individually, but when put together they tell the story of Jofrid’s life – descriptions of the incredible natural places she lived in, the power of the sea, her family life, encounters with the huldufólk or ‘hidden people’ of legend, and her small part in the clan battles and blood feuds of the time.”
I will be posting more information about this soon!
