From an archaeological dig at the edge of the Alaskan tundra, Kathleen Jamie reflects on time, memory and our connections to the past. Read by Maureen Beattie
Beneath the broad Alaskan sky, long-buried artefacts spill from the thawing tundra. In the eroding sand dunes of a Scottish island, preserved Neolithic hearths and homes are uncovered by the wind. And in a grandmother鈥檚 tenement flat, memories surface of a long-ago mining accident and a mother who was kind.
Award-winning poet Kathleen Jamie's essays reflect on time, memory and our connections to the past.
