A polar projection changes foo we figure oot wir world. Shetland
isna banished tae a box i da Moray Firt or left oot aa tagidder -
ta scale up da rest - but centre stage. Christine De Luca's poetry
creates a sense of the beauty and spareness of Shetland, the
contradictory space and smallness of the island; and a feeling for
people living on the far side of Scotland. These poems explore
concepts of identity, home and belonging, and of our connection
with the land. Drawing inspiration from medicine, history and
religious and pagan legends, from modern and ancient sources, De
Luca writes with equal fluency in both English and Shetlandic. This
book awakens its reader to the beauty of the language and the
landscape of the most northern part of Britain; yet there is no
sense of isolation. She explores the folktales and values
home-grown in Shetland in terms of the wider world, from Russia to
Canada.
