Made in Edinburgh

Award-winning poet Tessa Ransford shares her reflections on and evocations of Edinburgh’s Holyrood Park, inspired by over thirty years as its near neighbour.

The collection is structured around the four seasons, keenly observed by Ransford, and rendered even more vivid by fantastic images from Mike Knowles, which are interspersed throughout the text.

It includes many new poems, as well as featuring earlier works from Ransford’s extensive writings.
