I’m delighted to share the cover design for my new book “Jofrid Gunn”, which will be out in August!
“Jofrid Gunn” is something a little different – a biography in poetry. The book will be published by specialist poetry publisher Shearsman Books.
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.”

The book is not yet on sale, but it will cost £12.95. If you would like to look into ordering it through your local bookshop, the ISBN (unique book number that you can use to place an order) is 9781848619951 – just take that to your local bookseller and they should be able to help you.
“Jofrid Gunn” 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.
More information to come soon, including some details of events to celebrate publication!
