Two Countries is a book of poems about place: about landscape, community, and the shifting, provisional relations between them.Born in Scotland, Katrina Porteous grew up in North-East England.These poems explore the ambiguities of borderlands, from the Roman Wall to the present-day Anglo-Scottish Border, and the 'debatable lands' between tradition and modernity, real and ideal, country and town, 'nature' and 'culture'.Katrina Porteous's poetry reaches far beyond the local.Two Countries is organised around a selection of her radio work, poems of many voices, drawing on Border Ballad and Northumbrian story-telling and song, and often rooted in direct oral testimony.Among the most remarkable are the dialect voices of Northumbrian fishermen, and the words of hill farmers caught up in the 2001 foot-and-mouth epidemic.The poems of Two Countries are meant to be heard out loud.An ebook with audio is published simultaneously with the print edition.Since her first collection, The Lost Music (1996), Katrina Porteous has collaborated widely with artists and musicians. Much of her work has been for BBC radio, notably with producer Julian May, who describes her as 'extending the boundaries of the genre'.
