The Blue Vale: Poems from Mallaig and Beyond (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780595289134)

Drawn from experiences of staying on a croft outside the fishing village of Mallaig, these poems are not only reflections upon a way of life in transition, but also of the impact of that upon the author in his own evolution both as an individual and as a writer.

Of particular interest to those who know the western seaboard of Scotland, these poems will appeal to all who appreciate the drama of nature; the simplicity and values of an era as it confronts progress and modernity; and who themselves attempt to see beyond the ephemeral in a search for meaning and belonging in a complex world.

Divided into seven thematic sections, the work is enhanced by the author's own foreword and by the inclusion of a glossary highlighting place names and pronunciations.
