Description
McKervey is sharp as winter. Her poems of Scottish folklore, myth, family, and strange beasts, came at me like howling winds, lifting me up and down the highlands, islands, coasts, caves, lochs and bogs of history and imagination. This is a tonic of a book – rattling, cleansing, energising. Over and over again, Highland Boundary Fault transforms the ordinary past into the sphere of the magical and the darkly medicinal.
Annemarie Ní Churreáin, Poet & Editor
Highland Boundary Fault draws so much into itself: the inheritances of language on either side of the sheuch, the gods and myths that occupy the land and the imagination, the storms and geology of the past.
Alistair Heather, Scottish journalist, poetry podcaster, BBC presenter
