The first modern anthology of Scottish nature writing which acknowledges the realities of our times, edited, curated and introduced by the award-winning author of Findings
Die Poesie lebt – doch die ungeheure Vielfalt der Dichter aller Sprachen, aller Länder von Albanien bis Zypern ist nahezu unbekannt. So ist es höchste Zeit für eine neue, aufregende Bestandaufnahme: Nach den legendären Vorgängern „Museum der modernen Poesie“ von Hans Magnus Enzensberger (1960) und „Atlas der neuen Poesie“ von Joachim Sartorius (1995) machen sich Jan Wagner und Federico Italiano auf eine faszinierende Reise. Die „Grand Tour“ durch die junge Lyrik Europas gibt poetischen Proviant für Jahre: Unbekanntes, Überraschendes und Unerhörtes - in Original und Übersetzung. Eine Entdeckungsreise für wache Geister.

It's surprising what you can find by simply stepping out to look. Kathleen Jamie, award winning poet, has an eye and an ease with the nature and landscapes of Scotland as well as an incisive sense of our domestic realities. In Findings she draws together these themes to describe travels like no other contemporary writer. Whether she is following the call of a peregrine in the hills above her home in Fife, sailing into a dark winter solstice on the Orkney islands, or pacing around the carcass of a whale on a rain-swept Hebridean beach, she creates a subtle and modern narrative, peculiarly alive to her connections and surroundings.
