The Snows of Bennachie
Out now on Tapsalteerie
I have a new poetry collection out this month. Tapsalteerie, who published my first collection, Fractures, brought X, Y and me together for a collection of haiku and haiku-like poems. Below is a brief selection from one sequence of mine. To buy the book, head over here.
home not a word to be bandied lightly
turbulence on the approach landing in crosswinds
felt-green hills origami-paper fields an unexpected yearning
the faces at immigration unwelcome welcome
still it’s good to be back
it’s not the changes it’s the way it’s the same
Well gosh, as a person who lived at the other end of the UK then halfway across the globe from my home in Scotland for almost two decades, you've got me greeting.
