The outer world flew open like a door, and I wondered - what is it that we're just not seeing? In this greatly anticipated sequel to Findings, prize-winning poet and renowned nature writer Kathleen Jamie takes a fresh look at her native Scottish landscapes, before sailing north into iceberg-strewn seas. Her gaze swoops vertiginously too; from a countryside of cells beneath a hospital microscope, to killer whales rounding a headland, to the constellations of satellites that belie our sense of the remote. Written with her hallmark precision and delicacy, and marked by moments in her own life, Sightlines offers a rare invitation to pause and to pay heed to our surroundings.
The award-winning poet Kathleen Jamie was born in the west of Scotland in 1962. She has written two works of non-fiction: Among Muslims (2002), a travel book set in Pakistan's borderlands, described by The Independent as 'utterly luminous', and the widely-acclaimed Findings (2005), a groundbreaking nature book set in Scotland. Her poetry collection, The Tree House, won the 2004 Forward prize. She lives with her family in Fife and is Professor of Creative Writing at Stirling University.
