Landscape Blossoms Within Me

Kilpis poems which encompass everything from bawdy humour to compassionate irony and from haunting expressions of love and loss to an obvious passion for the natural world have a shamanistic shape-shifting quality about them. They explore different ways of being: they serve both as companions on the life-journey and as a representation of the journey itself. Donald Adamsons translations produced in collaboration with the author are a memorable introduction for new readers to the wisdom of this mature sure-footed poet with her wholly individual voice.
