This is an important thread &, being the editor of the journal which published this piece in September 2020, I recall well what it cost Jenny Lindsay to write it. Scottish culture has rapidly become, particularly for courageous women, punitive & viciously misogynistic.
๐งตThree years ago, I was forced to write an extensive essay outlining the harassment I was receiving in Scotland's literary sector. I had hoped I might write this, and then be left alone. Of course, that hasn't happened 1/

I dreamt a poem in a Scottish brogue
scrawled upon a museum wall
with diagrams of plants and fens
written in erasable pens
I tried to capture the words & wit
the sentiments therein writ
but the lighting it was mighty poor
and my accent couldnโt capture it
for @macgregor_andy ๐ฑ

When you have poets like @JohnMcCullough_ , @luaz_poet @macgregor_andy @deuxiemepeau @SeaNettleInk
@SeaGoatScreams and @RichlyEvocative itโs like a hall of heroes

@TopTweetTuesday I've been itching to celebrate the mighty Nightjar, a seamless collaboration between @macgregor_andy & @zr_ghani which deserves to be on every poetry lover's shelf. Below is Andy's beautiful "Let my heart be a wasteland." @VWC_Writes @blackboughpoems

โThe entire universe is furnished with these hands you donโt feel, these strings that tug, encouraging deeds you believe are yours.โ
We could all do with a little more poetry in our lives. ๐ ๐
