Jane McKie

Leper Window, St Mary the Virgin by Jane McKie

Alastair Cook’s 18th filmpoem incorporates a text by Scottish poet Jane McKie which “won the inaugural Edwin Morgan International Poetry Competition in 2011 and was praised by the judges as ‘spare, musical and wonderfully imagined,’” Alastair tells us. Luca Nasciuti was the composer.

La Plage by Jane McKie

Another film by Alastair Cook for the This Collection project of 100 videopoems about Edinburgh. I found the soundtrack particularly effective.
