I was delighted to come home today to an envelope containing my author copies of Unthinkable Skies. It is a lovely looking book though I say it myself. Thanks to Colin Will of Calder Wood Press for all his work on the book. You can order the book from the Calder Wood Press and overseas orders are welcome (I say that because people have asked, not because I want to brag).
I was also delighted and not a little surprised to find one of the poems from the book featured as the Poem of the Day in the Herald newspaper. For those of you who live outside Scotland or read other papers, you can read my poem on their poetry blog, here.

good to get a write-up in the Herald.
Congratulations, that's ever so exciting!!! What a lovely book it looks too!!!
Congratulations! Beautiful cover photo on your book! And I found your poem "Drift." I love that it is very simple and very deep at the same time. xo Kari
Lovely! Congratulations, Juliet!
Congratulations! You should be very proud!
I'm so glad I am able to get into your blog today, by the way!
I have been dipping into your book all afternoon and I am enjoying it so much! Your poems are beautifully crafted and I feel I am learning more about Juliet as I read them. I just know Amy is going to love the book, too ~ we both relate so much to the way you capture the beauty of nature in an often encroaching urban context and I have to say I think the booklet has been so sensitively produced and the comment on the back cover by the editor is so apt. You do have a naturalist's eye and I thank you for sharing your talent with us all.
I wish you every success, Juliet.

I say congratulations, too! Love that cover-I have to admit a good cover can lure me toward a book.
Huge congratulations on being published in the Herald. It’s great that people outside of Internetland will hear of you. Meanwhile I have ordered a copy of the book from Calderwood and presumably it is in the post somewhere between Dunbar and Edinburgh …
Congratulations! I shall be ordering.
