Cairn

“…I was writing again but in a different way, making short pieces, micro-essays, pages, call them what you will. Like the local stone here, they fractured easily… eventually I found myself assembling them into this book. A cairn of sorts…a trail marker, a moment noted, a view from the strange here-and-now.” Kathleen Jamie
