Originally published in paperback form in Homecoming year, a quarter-millennium after the birth of Burns, this anthology carries on the bard's legacy of writing from the heart. The diverse contents explore the whole spectrum of human experience: loss, love, longing, family, friendship, hope, prophecy, despair, dreams and much more. Some pieces are fierce and fearless, others poignant and profound.
