Fiona McCowan

In this episode of Biblioscapes In Discussion I am joined by Fiona McCowan to discuss her work and her books In The Offing and Full of trees & changing leaves.

 
 
 
 

Since childhood holidays by the sea in Northern Ireland I have been fascinated by the sea and in particular its horizon. This is my intimate search of the offing, with its many moods, appearances, colours, forms and shapes. It is my blurred expectations; my place of recurring fears; my dreams but also my yūgen.
