There are times that I have quite the frantic life, things get on top and for a lazy kind of chap, I have to say I can get a wee bit stressed with it all. Luckily, I keep my trusty copy of Anne McMaster’s luxurious and generally gorgeous collection, ‘Walking The Land’, to hand and that settles my fevered brain quite happily.
It is like Prozac for the soul, and heartily recommended for you or anybody else that needs to chill this Christmas and beyond.

Walking Off the Land offers a series of glimpses into a disappearing way of life – a rural childhood on a small Ulster farm.
Drawing a soft echo of remembrance into the present moment, this collection of poems explores the seasonal rituals and traditions that once shaped the days and lives of those who worked the land. It also traces the gradual decline of a family and an old farm.
Walking Off the Land is a loving history of country life, of loss and of letting go.
