Pleased to receive @rhonabrown.bsky.social and @wilcocksonamy.bsky.social’s brilliant collection of poems responding to Robert Fergusson, the bard of ‘Auld Reekie’. I’m also glad to have a wee Franco-Scots piece in there (riffing on Fergusson’s Jacobite/apocalyptical eclogue, ‘The Ghaists’). 🇫🇷🏴

This is a great regional magazine for new literature with a particular emphasis on the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. What’s more, it is free. It should be more widely appreciated.
Nice to see my wee translations of Jules Mousseron’s mining poems in Northwords Now—from Northern French Picard into Scots. His mouse poem is a great industrial take on Burns’s agricultural precedent. 🇫🇷⚒️🏴

Esther Inglis is having a richly deserved moment, and it’s brilliant.
Here’s my review of David Kinloch’s new play, based on the life of Ester Inglis, the Franco-Scottish miniaturist. The play is entirely in Scots and weaves textuality, multilingualism, national and gender politics beautifully. @glasgowrevbooks.bsky.social
