The Shell of Stone White Ian Nimmo
The Shell of Stone is Ian Nimmo White's third book-length collection of poetry. While there is always a presence of nostalgia, sometimes sadness, White balances this with poems about the joy of having grandchildren, observations of wildlife and the ever-increasing amount of time he is spending in his garden.The reader is left with feelings of respect for the past together with hope for the future. The author being a keen genealogist, many of these poems resonate with his passion for heritage, some marking major events of the twentieth century, with other poems travelling even further back to previous centuries.The author also touches on the inevitable passing of time and his own ageing, which he addresses with some mischief and fun.
The experience gained in a White's poetry is laced with warmth and humanity, not to mention a good helping of his native Scottish humour.
