‘Breathe In’ is a collection of contrasts; with a scope both modest and ambitious, local and international, street-wise and philosophical. There is an overwhelming feeling, as you navigate through its delicately curated pages, that you are experiencing a life in motion – not a mundane archiving of material but a vibrant rekindling of significant moments. This juxtaposition of works from across decades creates an enjoyable friction between the pieces, lending the whole collection a unique temporal electricity. An invitation to Breathe In and connect with our past selves, Dolan’s work deserves to be appreciated by an audience as diverse as his inspiration.’

Linda Devlin’s Clota is a bold rush at the world, like the collection’s namesake: goddess of the River Clyde. A mirrored ball reflecting numerous versions of ourselves and the spaces we occupy, this collection invites the reader to look closer, question ‘laundered thoughts’ and admit the dark truths of damage received or delivered. There is an undeniable fragility but, like the river, currents of strength run deep and fast. Renewal’s All I can do is add my fragment to the whole lingers long after reading. (Morag Anderson, poet)

Charles Bukowski is a master at writing in a similar fashion about the underclasses but Graham Fulton’s work is better by miles. Not a wasted word and each phrase as carefully balanced as a swaying drunk on a bus.
