If you love poetry, the art of poetry, and the art of thoughtful poetry critique, I suggest a read of this book review. A masterclass in how to express a deep and generous love of the art of poetry. I also love Diverted To Split but could never in a million years say why like George Gunn does here.
Here is a very sexy review by the great George Gunn of ‘Diverted to Split’ in the latest Northwords Now. If you haven’t bought a copy get in touch or go to the remaining launches, linked below!

It was great being involved in judging these fantastic Saltire poetry books but yesterday I was in two primary schools in Gourock and poetry was spilling out of the weans like rain and I’m thinking that’s where the rewards are, too.
