Couldn't agree more with Brian Johnstone.

"Good to receive my copy of the latest Causeway/Cabhsair in the post the other day. Two poems of mine in here, in the excellent company of Christopher Whyte, Bridget Khursheed, Seth Crook, James Robertson, Sheena Blackhall & Derrick McClure. Look forward to a good read over the weekend."
