Bücher von Alexander Hutchison

Hutchison is a "poet's poet" who has been setting standards outside the mainstream, but is now attracting a broader audience too. Scales Dog is a book which ranges widely with invention and delight. It is distinctively Scottish in some respects - but the appeal is international. It has depth and humour to carry its readers all the way through.

People want pleasure from poetry, and in Bones & Breath, this masterly new collection from Alexander Hutchison, they can find it in many forms and registers. Power and beauty, mischief and humour. Longer poems mix satire with tender affection. Others offer everything from solar loops to red-throated divers.
