Spirit of Jura

About

Spirit Of Jura brings together work from several writers associated with the retreat. From Liz Lochead's love-and-laughter filled lines to Kathleen Jamie's exquisitely observed poems of nature; from Romesh Gunesekera's love story to Janice Galloway's pitch-perfect evocation of Orwell's time on JUra; from John Burnside's haunting poems and prose to Philip Gourevitch's meditation on isolation and loss; from Will Self's story about Swetha Prakash's Eastern-tinged tale, this book offers a vivid flavour of the island and contrasting studies in wonder, myth and the inspiration provided by one of the most awe-inspiring landscapes on earth.
