Seeing the Light by Kenneth Steven

Seeing the Light by Kenneth Steven

This new poetry collection from Scottish poet Kenneth Steven captures small moments of revelation or epiphanies, which come unexpectedly as gifts amid the ordinary. An uncleared breakfast table, the sight of someone working outdoors, an old photograph, and the features and sounds of the Scottish landscapes that so inspire his work, all become, in the poet’s words, portals to a greater reality: ‘the small moments that make up the whole story. This is the sudden going through the door into the bigger world.’ Many of them are written in the sonnet form, whose brevity and economy of expression mirror the essence of this book, and whose very form turns from the ordinary to the extraordinary in a moment.

Kenneth Steven is one of Scotland’s best known contemporary poets. He is a frequent speaker at Scottish literary festivals and has grown an international audience through podcasts and online readings. He has written and presented poetry programmes for BBC Radio.
