Críticas
This is a confident, upbeat collection, drawing on shared history and language... invoking the ghosts of Hugh MacDiarmid, Margo MacDonald, Naomi Mitchison, Burns and Lenin. - ANDY CROFT, Morning Star The majority of the poems are successful. At its strongest moments it is a testament to the richness of Scottish poetry, and serves as a detailed snapshot of the nation. - MICHAEL GRIEVE, The Saint
Reseña del editor
there'll be nae cries o misery jist the creakin soun o openin doors Read these poems and be inspired. In the wake of the 1979 Devolution Referendum, followed by the impact of Thatcherite policies on Scottish society, many Scottish writers and intellectuals began articulating the distinctiveness of Scottish literary, cultural, social and political traditions and outlooks. Some joined popular political campaigns, from opposing the Poll-Tax and Trident to the Campaign for a Scottish Assembly, which led to a Scottish Parliament. Many now look forward to new possibilities for the future with more confidence in the value and importance of our country's culture and politics, as these poems reveal. Whatever the outcome of Scotland's Independence Referendum on 18 September 2014, a better Scotland is possible. Across every aspect of life in Scotland - housing, inequality, life expectancy, health, education, crime, sectarianism, localism and more - we all know that a better Scotland is possible. And then there's Trident. And the Bedroom Tax. And the Democratic Deficit. And on it goes.
