Tonight's the night folks! Fower Pessoas Zoom launch, 7pm. I'll be reading from the book, and in conversation with Scotland's Makar, Peter Mackay. See you there!

Happy publication day to my latest volume, Fower Pessoas. To say I'm a little emotional would be an understatement. Finally, this wee thing I've worked on for ages gets released. Here's another poem from the book, then.

Thanks to @jntod.bsky.social for the shout out for Flower Pessoaa on his excellent blog, Some Flowers Soon. I fully agree with his observation on Scots/English here.

That's copies of my Fower Pessoas just arrived and a first stack being sent out as we speak. My wee boy Pablo is enjoying munching on his chippy. Anyone want a signed one? Send us a message on here and I'll get you hooked up.

It's Christmas Eve! Here's the cover for my next book, Fower Pessoas. That's Fernando Pessoa's four main heteronyms (Alberto Caeiro, Álvaro de Campos, Ricardo Reis and Pessoa himself) in Scots - out with @carcanet.bsky.social in February 2025. Can't wait to see what the world thinks.
