Black Spiders

Kathleen Jamie's debut pamphlet was originally published by The Salamander Press, Edinburgh, in 1982. When the press was closed, Bloodaxe Books acquired the remaining stock and distributed it (with a Bloodaxe ISBN) until it sold out. Most of the poems included in Black Spiders were reprinted in her first full-length collection, The Way We Live, published by Bloodaxe in 1987. The original Salamander ISBNs were 0 907540 15 5 (cloth) and 0 907540 16 3 (paper).
