In this new Selected Poems, Kathleen Jamie explores the
multi-faceted world of George Mackay Brown's Orkney, the poet's
lifelong home and inspiration. George Mackay Brown's concerns were
the ancestral world, the communalities of work, the fables and
religious stories which he saw as underpinning mortal lives. Brown
believed from the outset that poets had a social role and his true
task was to fulfil that role. This is not the attitude of a
shrinking violet, tentatively exploring his 'voice'. Art was sprung
from the community, and his role as poet to know that community, to
sing its stories. But there was also room for introspection; the
poet's task was simultaneously to 'interrogate silence'.
