In The Queen of Sheba, the traveller comes home. These are poems of Scotland and beyond. Kathleen Jamie celebrates the good and challenges the outdated, exploring new mixes of culture and language. There are poems about landscape and nationhood, sex and politics, women and men. There is love and exasperation, hope and poverty. At times darker than her earlier work, the poems of The Queen of Sheba are rich with life and boldly self-aware.

Kathleen Jamie is a poet, essayist and travel writer, one of a remarkable clutch of Scottish writers picked out in 1994 as the ‘new generation poets’ – it was a marketing ploy at the time but turns out to have been a very prescient selection. She became Professor of Creative Writing at the University of Stirling in 2011. http://www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org....
