Iona

Features full colour photographs by a Iona Community member and photographer David Coleman, and Anja Grosse-Uhlmann, who lives on the isle of Iona, with accompanying reflections, prayers, poems and stories by Community writers.

In this exciting and beautiful spiritual evocation of Iona, we find inspiring photography, brand new poems, tales recounting legends, local stories and Celtic passages from Adamnan - but there is much more to this wonderful book than a simple description of its elements can capture. It is a work of poetic, spiritual beauty. Evoking the intricacies of the island's spiritual web, the book finds half-explored coves and caves, explores the names of certain seldom-visited glens and headlands and tells people who thought they knew everything about Iona things of which they had no knowledge.
