Synopsis
Here is a very special opportunity to hear some of Scotland's most distinguished and innovative poets reading their own work. The Jewel Box is a new collection of contemporary Scottish poems recorded on audio CD, Poets featured include Edwin Morgan, Don Paterson, Meg Bateman, Aonghas MacNeacail, Kathleen Jamie, and many more, writing in English, Scots and Gaelic. The selection is structured thematically and reflects what the editors felt a jewel box of Scottish poems could be, in terms of voices, sounds, a range of feelings and experiences. What is presented is a 'life journey' from childhood to death, engaging on the way with the self and the world: experiences of the local and the foreign, love and parenthood, language and memory, ageing and death.
The collection offers the rare experience of hearing the poets' voices - as Tom Pow, one of the contributors to the collection comments: " I remember the excitement I felt the first time I heard Dylan Thomas read his own poems on a scratchy old record, and how rare it was then to hear the poet's voice. So I think it's wonderful that all these Scottish voices should be gathered on one CD - an event both celebratory and historic".
The CD, which is published by the Scottish Poetry Library, is accompanied by a 36 page booklet, presenting the text of the poems as well as biographical information about the poets.
