Reviews for The Seed Beneath the Snow: Remembering George Mackay Brown
'Joanna Ramsey has written a scrupulously honest, nuanced account of her close friendship with George Mackay Brown. As well as containing previously unpublished verse by this great Orcadian poet, this book is full of hints and glints of the remarkable cultural life of Brown's Stromness in the late twentieth century.' Robert Crawford
