Chiels & Quines
This third collaboration from AC Clarke, Sheila Templeton and Maggie Rabatski, is an unfinished project, cut short by Sheila Templeton’s too-early death. But there is nothing unfinished about the poems we do have here: they are bursting with life and wit, with knowledge and opinion and human sympathy, giving us sidelong looks and some weel-kent figures from Scottish history and engaging portraits of some who should be better-kent; all called up with unobtrusive poetic skill – the most difficult kind – in English, Scots and Gaelic.
Topped and tailed with spare, moving elegies for Sheila from her two colleagues, this is a rich and rewarding volume that will leave you educated, entertained, and heart-sorry that there won’t be another like it.

The Siren Awakens
Linda Jackson’s ‘The Siren Awakes’ is a haunting, heartbreaking and often hilarious dissection of the author’s own childhood and early adulthood; a real world of monster masks, dark closes, dazzling sunlight, love, fear, and, particularly, music. Gentle innocence and sudden cruel violence exist side by side. (Graham Fulton, Poet)
