If you’ve a film/poetry lover in your life and you’re looking for a stocking filler, Hollywood or Home might be the answer! Poems ranging from Top Gun to The Godfather to Dorothy Parker to Meryl Streep. Among the Sunday Times Books of 2023, it contains tears and laughter.
ALT Cover of Hollywood or Home by Kathryn Gray. Endorsement from Nick Laird: "Underpinning the comedy and satire... is a real pain as life's jolts and time' relentlessness.’

I'm not migrating to another platform - I get such good #writerlysupport here and that outweighs any negative feelings about other things and people. I'd love to get up to 4,000 followers and will follow you back if you are a #writer/#creativeperson.

My last day as Makar. It's been a joy. To @scotgov and @ByLeavesWeLive, to @historic_ally, the librarians, readers, writers of Scotland, to the gods and goddesses of poetry, eternal thanks. There will be another Makar, in due course. Me, I'm in my garret, having a wee lie doon.

"Gwyn’s latest book is a fascinating and multilayered enterprise. It intersperses the personal with the literary, the political with the social, and takes the reader through multiple landscapes and discoveries." Thank you @leoboix 🙏 Read the interview:
