Summary

This beautiful spiritual evocation of Iona blends inspiring photography, poetry, legendary tales and local stories to evoke the intricacies of the island's spiritual web.

Iona Summary

Iona by Kenneth Steven

In this exciting and beautiful spiritual evocation of Iona, we find inspiring photography, brand new poems, tales recounting legends, local stories and Celtic passages from Adamnan - but there is much more to this wonderful book than a simple description of its elements can capture. It is a work of poetic, spiritual beauty. Evoking the intricacies of the island's spiritual web, the book finds half-explored coves and caves, explores the names of certain seldom-visited glens and headlands and tells people who thought they knew everything about Iona things of which they had no knowledge.
