Klappentext These Dumfries and Galloway poets, free in their own inimitable styles and approaches, are bound together by the unique culture of Scotland. Their poems help to raise the wall of that culture in the modern world. 'The poets Rab Wilson has gathered in this anthology represent and important and often neglected strand in contemporary Scottish poetry. Native Scots-speaking poets whose chosen language is distinct from English and expressive beyond the capacities of that sister-language, they are committed to their country, their place and the people who inhabit the world beside them. However, earthed and native as they are, there is nothing narrowing or oversimplified here.' - ALAN RIACH The range and liveliness of the poems are a testament to the continuing vitality of the Scots language in Dumfries and Galloway - THE HERALD Introduction LIZ NIVEN Efter Ye Cam Back Fae Malawi Eatin Locusts In Memoriam Solway Harvester Comet Hearin A Sang Fae Ma Boat Hinnie DOUG CURRAN The Basket Makers Aye When Simmer Cam Ina The Smiddy At The Whaup The Silent Hoose Walkin The Horses Hame On Cairnfield Heichts Auld Time Dancin Factory Deems The Men Frae Radio Ulster DAVID DOUGLAS Dancin Frogs Dangerous Wurds In A To?oer Liftin Maternity The Giraffe Hideyoshi Replies Joes Field Kennin Einstein Puffin Billy Tam Bides Hame JOHN BURNS Bricht In The Licht O Heaven Abuin The Hill Fuits Scliffs O Licht Johnny Maxwell Dances Frisco The Boonds O Heaven The Licht Aye-Bidan Kensho The Leafs Maun Faa Untitled JOSIE NEILL Me An Katie Morrison The Wattergaw Heritage Mullwharchar Mairi Stuart Orra Tink Tibbie Logie A Christmas Poem Lament For MacDiarmid Makars Warslin HUGH BRYDEN Balloon Chappin Chairlie?
