Author Kenneth Steven, whose performance at Kirkcudbright Book Week 2024 was so well received, has a new book out.

Atoms of Delight Ten Pilgrimages in Nature (In the Moment), which is available on Amazon in Kindle and Paperback formats, sees the poet and essayist take the reader  through some of Scotland’s most beautiful landscapes on a series of meditative quests in search of his ‘atoms of delight’ – treasures, both natural and spiritual.

The pieces in the collection invite readers to accompany the author as he seeks out crystal-clear waters, a glimpse of an elusive bird, delicate orchids, plump berries, or pebbles polished by time and tide. Appreciative of the grace of silence and the value of solitude and simplicity, he takes journeys that prompt introspection and provoke memories.
