‘Motherwell’s collection is cinematic and reflective. His deep love for the natural world glisters throughout these intimate poems. Fusing geology, history, and community, Motherwell reminds us that the sting and soothe can co-exist, a footpath apart. These are poems to hunker down with again and again.’
(Morag Anderson, poet)

Donna Campbell’s first collection may be called ‘Mongrel’ but it is purebred poetry. Her use of words, especially in the Glaswegian vernacular, combine with images to form brutally beautiful poems about aspects of life that less fearless poets might shun. (Lesley Benzie, poet)

A Kist of Treasure: John Maclean is surely that. Martin Goldie brings to life in verse one of Scotland’s greatest ‘Man o the People’. Here, a hundred years after Maclean’s death, Goldie’s reverence for a true hero comes across in his own fine penmanship.
There are just not enough books on Maclean and there are definitely far too few poems and songs about the man – Goldie has gone some way to putting this right.
