Items related to Fiere
Jackie Kay’s new collection is a lyric counterpart to her memoir, Red Dust Road, the extraordinary story of the search for her Nigerian and Highland birth-parents; but it is also a moving book in its own right, and a deep enquiry into all forms of human friendship. Fiere – Scots for ‘companion, friend, equal’ – is a vivid description of the many paths our lives take, and of how those journeys are made meaningful by our companions on the road: lovers, friends, parents, children, mentors – as well as all the remarkable and chance acquaintances we would not otherwise have made. Written with Kay’s trademark wit and flair, and infused with both Scots and Igbo speech, it is also a fascinating account of the formation of a self-identity – and the discovery of a tongue that best honours it. Musical and moving, funny and profound, Fiere is Jackie Kay’s most accomplished, assured and ambitious collection of poems to date.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Jackie Kay brings her poetry to Picador with a brilliant new collection that crosses borders Jackie Kay's latest collection is inspired by the journey she undertook to write her memoir, Red Dust Road. Her new poems explore what it means to have roots, specifically roots in different cultures - with old Scots and modern Scots alongside poems inspired by Ibo dialect, and poems inspired by African and European art. Fiere is the old Scots word for friend. It appears in Auld Lang Syne: "And there's a hand my trusty fiere, / And gies a hand o'thine." In this beautiful collection, full of striking voices, African and Scottish poems reach out and shake hands with one another.
