Scrap Mettle
‘Great writers are great no matter the genre or form, they carry their preoccupations, their wisdom, wherever they go – and Willy Maley is one of our very finest. In Scrap Mettle, he brings all the endlessly curious, interrogative spirit that pervades his dramatic and critical writing to poetic form. At times playful, at times deadly serious, he draws on inspiration through the generations, both literary and familial, to cast a cool eye over our here-and-now world. These are poems of communities, delivered with warmth, humour, and trademark wit.’

WTF is normal anyway?
If you want your poetry as a lulled accompaniment to whatever you happen to be doing - don't read Jo Gilbert. If you like your Doric couthie and couth, paired with a wee sepia photo - don't read Jo Gilbert. But if you need poetry that makes you 'Get aff that fuckin horse. Now!' , and opens your 'kohl clarted eyes' to garr ye greet and laugh aloud...then read Jo Gilbert. And what a titular poem. Three lines, punching hard with every word. What a debut.

Clota
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)
