Scottish poet Morag Anderson explores relationships and the damage people can do to each other in her debut chapbook: concealed violence, love and everything in between.
Sample Poem:
Paterfamilias
When the breadth of your back
is no more than narrative
beneath the tailored twill of your shirt,
when your fingers, gone to driftwood,
rattle and clack against the ancestral
crest of old gold,
when you cannot rise to greet
the changing seasons that...

« Il est vrai qu'on peut agir bizarrement
Et ne pas savoir comment
Il faut faire dans certaines situations
Mais on ne fait pas toujours attention
À nos paroles et nos actes
Après quoi, on se prend une claque
Grâce à ses erreurs, on apprend
Même si cela prend du temps
On devient quelqu'un
Mais pas du jour au lendemain
Quand tu seras une personne accomplie
C'est que tu auras compris
