Iona
Poems
 Iona:
Poems Iona has been of deep spiritual significance and inspiration
to Kenneth Steven since his early childhood. This fifth collection
of poems draws on his long association with the West Coast of
Scotland and with Iona in particular.
Kenneth
Steven’s …poems have a finely developed lyrical
quality. You see, as with cut gems, not through them, but into
them. How does he do it? The rhythm and the movement through
the lines is beautifully controlled, you don’t notice
it. The language is sharp, clear full of surprises. Northwords,
2000.
Steven has
a talent for capturing the startling, original image, like a
sudden revelation, and placing it in beautifully observed pictures
of the world around us. He is a fine, fine poet and this new
volume is highly recommended. New Shetlander.
Kenneth
C. Steven has a rare gift for observing the tiny intricacies
of nature that many of us miss on our hurried way through life.
