The Overhaul is Kathleen Jamie's first collection since the
award-winning The Tree House, and it broadens her poetic range
considerably. The Overhaul continues Jamie's lyric enquiry into the
aspects of the world our rushing lives elide, and even threaten.
Whether she is addressing birds or rivers, or the need to accept
loss, or sometimes, the desire to escape our own lives, her work is
earthy and rigorous, her language at once elemental and tender. As
an essayist, she has frequently queried our human presence in the
world with the question 'How are we to live?' Here, this is
answered more personally than ever. The Overhaul is a mid-life book
of repair, restitution, and ultimately hope - of the wisest and
most worldly kind.
