Atoms of Delight by Kenneth Steven
Poet and essayist Kenneth Steven takes us on a series of meditative quests in search of his “atoms of delight”—treasures, both natural and spiritual—through some of Scotland’s most beautiful landscapes. The short pieces in this captivating collection, whose title pays homage to Scottish Renaissance writer Neil Gunn, invite readers to accompany Steven as he seeks out crystal-clear waters, a glimpse of an elusive bird, delicate orchids, plump berries, or pebbles polished by time and tide. Appreciative of the grace of silence and the value of solitude and simplicity, he takes journeys that prompt introspection and provoke memories as we pause, breathe, and discover alongside him the transformative power of nature's small gifts and wild places. This is an evocative book that will inspire you to pay close attention as you explore your environment and reflect on the fleeting moments of pure joy that nature has brought into your life. As you set out on your own pilgrimages, you will discover the extraordinary that can be found in the everyday when you take the time to look for it.
Kenneth Steven is a widely published Scottish poet, novelist, essayist and translator who discovered his love for the natural world during his childhood; a reverence for the wonder of words soon followed. His writing, inspired mainly by the wild landscapes of the Highlands, has won many awards. His BBC radio documentary on the remote Atlantic island of St Kilda won a prestigious Sony Award, and he has written and narrated several series of the BBC Radio 3 Essays programme.
