• Fifth Carcanet collection from one of the notable Scottish poets of his generation and current Chair of The Edwin Morgan Trust

• Selects the best work from Kinloch’s four previous Carcanet collections as well as a significant suite of elegies for gay men first published in the early 90s

• Explores the links between sexual orientation and national idenity

• Newer poems develop themes of marginalisation in the human and animal worlds, as well as lyrics penned in reponse to the pandemic

• Kinloch presents a unique kind of prose poetry, by turns light and serious, humorous and grave, all linked by the poet’s lifelong attention to myth and the visual arts
