Made in Edinburgh: Poems and Evocations of Holyrood Park

Tessa Ransford

Mike Knowles

For the last thirty years, poet Tessa Ransford has lived in view of Arthur’s Seat and Holyrood Park. Drawing on the paradox of variety within stability as the landscape changes, yet remains constant, over the years and seasons, Ransford has built up this collection over many years in response to the view from her window. The beautifully descriptive poetry is accompanied by full colour photography throughout.
