Description:
Taking the Gate is the evocative record of a poet's journey, a rediscovery of landscape and memory. In the summer of 1994, award-winning Canadian poet Stephen Scobie returned to his native Scotland and set out on a journey that took him through the country's most beautiful and historic sites, guided by the images of his childhood. Part poetry, part prose, part travel writing and part autobiography, the lyrical meditations of Taking the Gate are complemented by the author's photographs -- images that extend his portrayal of the poetic landscape and chronicle his experiences as past and present converge.
