Description
Francis Boutle, 2025. 294 pages. Hardback.
Contributors engage with political and social concerns, women’s and LGBTQ identities, local, multicultural, and international perspectives, alongside explorations of history, cultural exchange, love, land and language. Their oeuvre spans free verse, vibrant re-imaginings of traditional poetry and song forms, nature poetry, urban lyrics and panegyrics.
This anthology builds on the legacy of earlier volumes edited by the late Donald MacAulay, Christopher Whyte, and Ronald Black. A new compendium introducing these sensitive and often radical voices to wider readerships through translation into English, Scots, and other European languages – often by the writers themselves and their peers, working in close creative collaboration.
