Kathleen Jamie writes with unparalleled beauty, sharpness of observation, wit, delicacy, strength of vision and rare exactness of language

It is not often that the prose of a poet is as powerful as her verse, but Jamie's is

Her achievement is to make us look again with completely fresh eyes at those creatures and places we had long presumed to know

The leading Scottish poet of her generation
