Auszeichnungen
Niall Campbell grew up on South Uist in Scotland's Outer Hebrides, and his first collection, Moontide, is filled with images of the island's seascapes, its myths, its wildlife, and the long dark of its winters. Quietly reflective and deftly musical, these thoughtful poems resonate with silence and song, mystery and wonder, exploring ideas of companionship and withdrawal, love and the stillness of solitude. After winning an Eric Gregory Award in 2011, Niall Campbell published a widely praised pamphlet, After the Creel Fleet, in 2012, and won the Poetry London Competition in 2013. Now this highly assured debut collection will establish him as one of the most distinctive lyric voices to emerge from Scotland in recent years. Poetry Book Society Recommendation, winner of the Saltire First Book of the Year Award, also shortlisted for the Fenton Aldeburgh First Collection Prize, the Forward Prize for Best First Collection and the Michael Murphy Memorial Prize.

CROSSING
Say that the song was never written
would it have settled there, I wonder,
on that far shore of the tongue's river,
singing itself, stubbing its heels
into the bank that is pure air?
Or would it wait for further passage?
stood on the quay so long until
a form all spit and bone and light.
Am I some whistling ferryman,
trailing my pen hand in the wake?
Niall Campbell
CROSSING, strikes me as more than self-aware, revealing a reflective meditation on its own creation, a superb tight pen finds its element. My additional favourites are: LATER TASTING and the great story-telling in A DANCE MACARBE, and also WHEN THE WHALES BEACHED. ( )
