"The three editors of this new book have carried out their work of selection beautifully. Though not a Gaelic speaker myself I appreciate the presence of Gaelic poetry (with translations). For these poems catch the spirit of the anthology perfectly, as, in the words of the Introduction, Gaelic religious poetry has often been a reflection of the changing social, cultural and political position of the language. In that process of change we find a Scotland that is at once timeless and yet forever restlessly shifting its identity, and in a manner that has the matter of religion at its very heart. These poems are a reflection of that deep subconsciousness that lies under the surface of Scottish culture and landscape - a thin place where divinity and the everyday meet in gestures of infinite complexity. This is a book to be treasured - and taken very seriously indeed." -- David Jasper * University of Glasgow * 'This thoughtful, well-presented and varied collection is sure to provide food for thought and reflection, along with amusement and provocation, for both personal reading and since many of the poems were composed for just this purpose for use in churches and meetings of different kinds.' -- Duncan Sneddon * Journal of Scottish Studies *
