Plain Song
Plain Song is Christine's third poetry collection. It was published in 2002 by The Shetland Library.
This collection has a similar balance of poems to Christine's previous publications, with poems written in English and Shetlandic. It builds on earlier themes but also includes poems about language. Narrative poems, including a ballad, also form part of the collection.
