Love and Zen in the Outer Hebrides
Edinburgh: Canongate, 1998. 1st Edition. Soft cover. 8vo. Near Fine. Item #003114
Paperback, 69 p.p. English and Scottish Gaelic. Light creasing to joints and scuff to foot of rear cover, else fine. This book marks the arrival of a major new talent in Scottish poetry. Kevin MacNeil's voice and vision, while rooted in the Hebridean islands, is open to a wide range of cultures, not only those of Scotland - from Gaeldom to urban Scotland - but to the wider European and American mind, and through his interest in Zen Buddhism, to Japanese and Chinese culture. With astonishing freshness and versatility, MacNeil's poetry creats powerful connections and new combinations.
