A breathtaking collection of evocative poetry paired with beautiful linocut prints inspired by the British Isles. From bakers and beekeepers to blacksmiths and falconers, poet Angus and printmaker Lilly take you on a heartfelt journey to celebrate the craftsmanship and heritage that define our cultural roots.
It's a call to reconnect with nature, honour forgotten crafts, and cherish a slower, simpler way of life.
At a time when many traditional artisan crafts are nearing extinction, Our Isles offers a timely tribute to the rural lifestyles that shaped generations. Perfect for those seeking moments of mindfulness, creativity, and inspiration, this collection celebrates more than art and poetry; it celebrates well-being, curiosity and community.
Whether you're a lover of the great outdoors, enchanted by nature, or simply seeking a meaningful gift, this collection will deepen your appreciation for the artistry and wisdom of the past.
