A First Sighting

Henry Marsh

Maclean Dubois

Tracing the blurred line between life and literature has taken David Robinson to places as far afield as west Kansas and the edge of the Kalahari. It's also taken him on journeys of discovery into the minds of some of the most gifted writers alive. This beautifully produced collection of essays and interviews is based on his articles in The Scotsman newspaper and is a record of those fascinating encounters—a book that starts in a couple of dozen other books and takes the reader on  the road to even more. If you've ever found yourself enthralled underneath the canvas of a book festival tent—or if you've only wished for the chance—In Cold Ink is the perfect recreation, taking you straight to your best-loved authors and helping you discover new favorites!

Poetry

<p>In this fascinating and moving collection, Henry Marsh once again uses his exceptional poetic gifts to take us to the heart of one of the most difficult periods of Scottish history. His feeling for place and for the personalities involved is such that we feel we are there – living through the religious wars and tribal wars of seventeenth century Scotland, at the side of the Marquis of Montrose, one of the towering figures of the time. Henry Marsh’s poetry brings those times to life in a way in which prose simply cannot: here is the feeling, the passion, the sheer color of events in which, as the poet reminds us in his introduction, we can find features sometimes evident in our own troubled times. This is a book for those who wish to know what it was like to be of that time, and that place. It is a great and echoing poetic achievement.</p>
