Best Scottish Poems 2014 from the Scottish Poetry Library

A lovely treat for Sunday - the best poems from Scotland last year as edited by Roderick Watson.

I am delighted to find p&g poets among their number:

• Judith Taylor with her beautiful poem The Lapland Woman and the Finland Woman http://www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poetry/poems/lapland-woman-and-finland-woman
• Richie McCaffery with the evocative poem Cold Caller from his fine first collection Cairn http://www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poetry/poems/cold-caller

You can find the complete poem selection here including work from Kei Miller (seen last at StAnza), powerful new voice Claire Askew and the irrespressible Andrew Sclater to name a few http://www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poetry/poems/cold-caller

Indulge yourself with Scottish Poetry Library cool list

It is coming up to holiday time and if you haven't got anything for yourself yet, there is the coolest list of 10 Contemporary Scottish Poets You Need to Read that has taken my fancy over at the Scottish Poetry Library...

Safe to say I have been having a bit of a splurge and shall be reporting back - apart from Natural mechanical which is stuck in the post somewhere.

But why wait for me - check it out for yourself here http://www.scottishbooktrust.com/reading/book-lists/10-contemporary-scottish-poets-you-need-to-read
