Islander by Lynn Davidson
The title poem of Islander is an essential definition: not rooted in landlocked blood and soil but connected by sea and distance, and the returning tides of Scotland, the archipelagos of New Zealand and the islands of Oceania. Here is a poet attuned to the ancient laws of movement and sensitive to the uncertainties, the vulnerable truths.
