I HAVE SOME NEWS. And it's quite a big one.
Earlier this year I was thrilled to find out that I had been awarded Creative Scotland funding to write my first book of poetry in English and Polari.
Wiseheart is a reimagining of a series of myths from Classical Antiquity, all woven into the cityscape of a contemporary Athens of the North.
So with all that, it's exciting to share first of the poems from Wiseheart, published in Atrium Magazine, here.
Ruth SalterCool delivery! 'Fowrsom Reel', poetry by John Kincaid, George Todd, F J Anderson and Thurso Berwick (1949).
Dedicated to the socialist John Maclean, Hugh MacDiarmid intros the collection as part of a new Scottish poetry 'concerned with the problems of our people, with current political issues, with anti-Imperialism and anti-militarism, with resistance to Fascism, and the support of Republican Spain and the Soviet Union'.
Bonus: it's not even that grubby!
