In The Queen of Sheba, the traveller comes home. These are poems of Scotland and beyond. Kathleen Jamie celebrates the good and challenges the outdated, exploring new mixes of culture and language. There are poems about landscape and nationhood, sex and politics, love and exasperation, hope and poverty. At times darker than her earlier work, The Queen of Sheba is rich with life and boldly self-aware. Poetry Book Society Recommendation. The poems from The Queen of Sheba were later reprinted in Mr and Mrs Scotland Are Dead: Poems 1980-1994.
