About this book
This collection gathers the poetry of Violet Jacob, one of Scotland's finest lyric voices, whose verse in Scots dialect and English captures the landscapes, folk, and emotional depths of her native Angus countryside. Writing of love, loss, exile, and the land with music and feeling, Jacob is especially admired for poems like 'The Wild Geese,' a haunting evocation of longing for home. Tender, rooted, and deeply Scottish, her verse belongs to the revival of the vernacular tradition and speaks with quiet power. A rewarding collection from a distinguished poet, Verses offers the beauty of the Scottish landscape and the ache of the exile's heart in finely crafted lyric form.
