Overview

Kenneth Steven grew up in the heart of Highland Scotland, but from earliest childhood days he spent the summer days on the Atlantic coast and in the islands of the Hebrides. At the heart of those islands lies Iona, the place St. Columba came to from Ireland to build his monastery. Kenneth Steven is first and always a poet, and this collection gathers fifty of his best poems from across thirty years, works that speak of wild beauty, truth, love, and sanctity.

Reviews

""I'm much taken by the poems of Kenneth Steven, who seems quite naturally a poet to his fingertips. This is a spiritual poetry, attentive to the rhythms of faith, not infrequently uplifting, always compelling. Steven's language is often surprising, digging into the roots of words, with a sense that spirit is pushing deeper and deeper into the material world. Atlantic is a book I will read again and again."" --Jay Parini, author of New and Collected Poems: 1975-2015
