The sense of place and of senses porous to land and sea bring to life this stand-out sequence of poems. The voice, at once conversational and distinctive, is enraging and personal. There’s an ache at the core of the beauty here, not of self-pity or of indulgence, but of empathy, of griefs, both human and beyond human, that held to the light, recognised, and invite compassion. This is clear-eyed but gracious poetry.

'Beautiful, meditative memoir.' – Sunday ExpressFrom the southern tip of Barra to the ancient stone circle of Callanish, Leonie Charlton and her friend Shuna ride off the beaten track on their beloved Highland ponies, Ross and Chief. Among the idyllic and clarifying landscapes of the outer Hebrides, Leonie allows herself to reflect on her life, specifically on her frayed relationship with her late mother.In deeply poetic prose, in Marram Leonie not only describes the beauties of the Hebridean landscape, its spare, penetrating light and its people, but also confronts the ghost of her mother and their fractured relationship as she leaves beads across the island in memorium.Intimate, sensitive and illuminating, both the story and the picturesque images hold all the natural beauty of the Hebrides, and the grief and emotion of a writer finally able to find peace in her loss.‘Her mesmerising account blends travel and nature writing as Charlton reflects on grief, catharsis and acceptance.’ --The Herald
