This concise and vivid poetic work, by the internationally recognised Scottish poet, echoes the memories of a voyage shared by a small group of Celtic monks who may have sailed from Iona as far as Iceland. It is the poetry of island rocks and vast seas - the warmth of home yet the call beyond. The book includes fragments of an imaginary lost manuscript - clues to people of the journey. A remarkable story echoing our own hopes and the gift of times and people who seem sent to help us.
