Synopsis

Written mostly in Scots, Rab Wilson’s new collection is a timely comment on our climate of zero hours contracts and benefits sanctions. From social issues to politics, from the sublime to the absurd, Wilson homes in on the unique aspects of life in Scotland and sets out his poetic manifesto for our country’s future.


Ceci n'est pas Stonehenge’, this is the cosmos,

distilled to elemental rock and stone,

depicting that interstellar collision,

four billion years away, a chaos

of realignment unimaginable,

when all the worlds we knew or didn’t know

osmotically pass through each other like ghosts,

to form new galaxies intangible.
