High Country

Angus Dunn

This collection consists of the best of Angus Dunn’s poems written over a period of over thirty five years. The work examines and portrays the natural world with delicacy and observation. Angus’s love of the land and of life shines in every line, and his work has the clarity and stillness that is associated with Japanese haiku. The book has a foreword contributed by the poet, Ian Stephen.

Reviews of High Country

John Glenday, poet; 'Angus Dunn's poems are informed by wonder and curiosity, about language, history, science, nature and myth.' Ian Stephen, poet; 'One of the most distinctive native voices to sound out for the Highlands.' Robert Davidson, writer, editor and publisher
