Walter Perrie has been one of the unsung Scottish masters of poetry
for decades. In Gathering Flame and Stone he has summonsed his
Powers to distill a great work that will last.. WILLIAM HERSHAW,
Scottish poet and editor of Lallans

The poem extends its meditative journey of consideration in a
sometimes lively, even sprightly, and at other times portentous,
darkened procession of brief lyrics… The lightness of the
verse belies its seriousness. Its solemnity is leavened by its speed
and buoyancy.' ALAN RIACH, Professor of Scottish Literature,
University of Glasgow
