Across distinct voices, the book explores remembered and imagined lochs, lochans, and tarns, linking landscape depth to personal nature.

have known  \nand great ones,the size of countries,knownonly of.Of how you can-if you can-know  \na body of water.Waters you've skirtedas they kept pace and held their peace.Those whose hems you have touched.  \nUnder the same more silent dark,findall the lakes of the nightside hemisphere-reach beneath their skin.The Cumbrians  \nflooring the fells-prone but restless,acres and acres of eyes,outstaringthe livelong night,reflecting nothing in parts  \nbut moonless sky,drowning the negligible stars;then all the lochs and lochans of Scotlandin the colder dark,under the same sky  \nticking,lapping,breathing,systole/diastole:dive to take that wild arhythmic pulse,taste that deep indifference.  \nJulia Deakin  \n(
