Thanks Julie! And thank you for taking a punt on the book itself. I hope the cost of postage to the States is not too eye-watering.
Cheers
David

It arrived yesterday. 5 GBP for the chapbook, 5 GBP for the postage, but the publisher threw in a wee book of wee poems for free, featuring several more by you.
Delightful to see your mom and her sisters again:

That's a lovely review, and it does a beautiful job of summarising your book, I reckon, the form of the review both highlighting and echoing the subtlety of your writing. It makes me want to look up the writer of the review, too.

Lovely review, David. I've been enjoying Always myself, and the reviewer does a good job of zeroing in on specifics. Congratulations.

Just by the way, Julie, one of those poems in Wee Dreich 2 - "Morning over Chibbanagh" - is probably one of my golden oldies.
Thanks for that, Sarah-Jane. Very nice of you to say so. The writer of the review (full disclosure here) is my long-time poetry friend Ros Badcoe. She has one book out herself - Drawing a Diagram - which I highly recommend. Other people here may know her from her stint as joint editor of the excellent Antiphon (now on a well-deserved hiatus).
And thanks to you too, Andrew. Really pleased you're enjoying it.
David
