Blood Salt Spring

From Edinburgh’s Makar, poetry that “speaks to and for the conflicted conscience of Scotland . . . with a power and authenticity like perhaps no other” ( The Scotsman ). In a moment that is demanding you to constantly choose your side, how do you find your humanity, your own voice, when you are being pushed to find safety in numbers? Blood Salt Spring  is a meditation on where we are—exploring ideas of nation, race and belonging. Much of the collection was written in lockdown
