Kenneth Steven takes us on Columba’s difficult journey from Ireland to the west coast of Scotland. He takes us on many other journeys too – both real and imagined, ancient and modern. Columba’s journey becomes a metaphor for embarking on journeys of many sorts and from many kinds of shores.
Simple, Powerful, Spiritual.
Les mer
Kenneth Steven, a bestselling poet, writes with a quiet, gentle spirituality. Images of secret places from the west coast, from its Celtic legacy, and from the lives of the people still there today, are all powerfully evoked in this new collection.

September
The fields lay white beneath a snow of sun
And birds were restless underneath, they rose and wheeled
Like silver leaves. The skies were more than blue;
Burnished and beaten with a strange brilliance.
The angels are coming, I thought;
The angels will come in the night
When a huge moon ovals through these bright and cloudless skies;
They will come to bind the sheaves
While we are fast asleep.
They will work the fields, their wings tight-folded,
All through the white night of this September,
The moon gliding high like a balloon
Over the glazed harvest of the world;
Nothing moving except the angels and the wind, until the task is done
In the warm stillness of the dawn.
