A new month, time for another infographic showing the books I am mainly reading. A mix of fiction and non fiction, biography, science and poetry.

A wonderful visit to McNaughtan’s Books in Edinburgh this morning. I don’t think I’ve seen such a varied selection of Scottish poetry before, and I found a couple of George Mackay Brown items missing from the collection.

For some reason, Voyages, Brown’s 1983 collection of poetry, is quite hard to find, so it was lovely to see it there and liberate it from the shelves!

Ended up at the page of a lady poet whose poem I already know well from a sung version. So then have to dig that out in iTunes! This in the new collection of Scottish 1730-1830. It includes a lot of Gaelic poems (Gaelic first then translated version after) and poems by women.

Supper and a new to read, a new collection of Scottish 1730-1830. Really looking forward to this. My own looked at Scottish reading habits in the same period, but I need to read more of the texts being read!

Over on Twitter is a fantastic writer called Sam Szanto. She has very kindly put Shouting at Crows on Goodreads and added a review, because she is bloody awesome. I am beyond grateful.

A haiku should be about nature,
Like an Angus chewing cud on a hill.
High coo.

whenever i see a sky like this i am reminded of James Findlay Hendry's 'The Constant North.'

Though noonday shadows are assembling doom,
The sun remains when I remember them;
And death, if it should come,
Must fall like quiet snow from such clear skies.

Fun little moment on ... I had a friendly, humorous interaction with someone who posted a funny comment using part of a Robert Burns line of poetry: "The best laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men / Gang aft agley".

I sincerely enjoy it here. (Thank you, Peter Butler.)

I really appreciate the thoughtfulness and personal reaction in this review. (The Crows of the title perhaps represent dark thoughts, which is a bit unfair because I bloody love crows, and do actually chat to the ones who live around our house all the time, although I wish they would stop wrecking the suet balls.)

My poem Sagittarius Rises ♐️🤲.
This verse is about overcoming a relationship where you have been emotionally abused.
