I'm thrilled to say that Afterbody was launched to a full house at the Scottish Poetry Library! Afterbody saw all come together: you could throw a stone into this audience and it would land on a poet. Thanks to Rob Mackenzie, an important literary citizen in our little world of Scottish poetry.

"The sequence is gorgeous, poignant, beautifully evocative and strange, masterfully subtle, yet poetically exhilarating… Afterbody will properly announce Singh as one of the most notable emerging #poets in #Scotland.” —Alan Gillis
