Book Club: Kathleen Jamie

from Best of the Spectator

In her new book Cairn, the Scots poet Kathleen Jamie sets a capstone of sorts on her trilogy of short prose collections Findings, Surfacing and Sightlines. She joins Sam Leith on this week’s Book Club podcast to talk about why she hesitates to call herself a nature writer, how prose found her late in life, and why whale-watching isn’t what it used to be.Produced by Patrick Gibbons. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
