The Scots language is unfettered, the political engagement direct, the passion of a moral sensibility responding to the outrage of the world as it is: these qualities energise Lesley Benzie's fluent, fierce and yet welcoming poems. Luve's Rhyme Reason Revolution is a collection which takes us to various locations on the global map of capitalism's suicidal geopolitical exploitation and matches them with a singular personal investment in honest feeling, a world where family, love and trust can be valued at their proper price.

This collection is a treasure trove of observational poetry that amuses and delights, despite the poet's claim of ‘I write the poems that are shite’. Far from that, Snuff Bus takes us on a tour of human ballets in working class life. From delving on, around, over and inside bridges, to pissing on Katy Perry, Fulton's subject matter meanders like a river around philosophical thinking and pound shop multipacks of crisps, with a detour to watch the birds. There's a sense of the extraordinary about these encounters, an awareness of the watcher being watched and a celebration of the small things, that are really the big things. Do yourself a favour and buy a ticket for this poetic trip woven with hilarity, tenderness and love dressed as a gruff old mannie.

(Jo Gilbert, poet)
