Nets to Catch the Wind

A vivid tapestry of verse unfolds, weaving together the raw pulse of the natural world with the tangled emotions of the human heart. The poems move from reverent odes to untamed beauty—eagles soaring above storm‑laden cliffs, moles burrowing in secret earth—to stark reflections on love, freedom, and the fragility of innocence. Each stanza feels like a breath of wind caught in a net, flickering between the wild and the whispered, inviting listeners to linger on the tension between soaring heights and hidden depths.

The collection shifts tone as it travels, from the rhythmic chant of Highland dialect in “The Prinkin’ Leddie” to the haunting, almost incantatory cadence of “Madman’s Song.” Its language is both lush and precise, offering moments of stark clarity alongside lyrical mystery. The result is an intimate, immersive journey that rewards attentive ears with layers of meaning, texture, and an ever‑present sense of wonder.
