About This Book

The collection presents two lyrical poems: one written in Scots dialect that follows a traveling narrator who recalls rural home, family, and the pull of the hillside and loch with sensory detail and wistful longing; the other is a meditative narrative depicting a nun whose vision of golden light, harvest fields, and an emblematic dragon intrudes on her devotions, blending religious imagery, inner yearning, and ambiguous transcendence. Both pieces emphasize vivid visual imagery, tonal contrast between domestic intimacy and radiant ecstasy, and themes of belonging, memory, and conflicted spiritual experience.
