Salt and Light

This 2007 collection of poems from Saint Andrew Press is all about moments of transformation: the moment the first notes of a tune begin to be born in a fiddler's fingers, the arrival of an unexpected gift, the day the geese begin their journey back to Iceland.

This is a collection built on faith and hope in the midst of dispair and darkness. the book was launched at a reading at Dove Cottage in the Lake District in September.

A SCHOOL DAY
Would you like to have an author in your school for the whole day? Kenneth is now arranging visits where he does just that. Each day is planned with the school so no two days will be quite the same. >

The Ice and other stories
This is a collection that has been six long years in the making. It comprises 14 stories, the vast majority of which have been broadcast on BBC Radio or published in literary magazines at home or abroad. Several are set in Highland Scotland, but the majority are not. Setting is not of fundamental importance; the protagonists and their stories are. >
