Glamourie

Published by Indigo Dreams

ISBN 978-1-909357-75-4

With Scotland as a background, these poems celebrate diversity. Using both English and Scots, they embrace the glamourie enchantment to be found in ordinary lives and in poetry. They end with wild bagpipe-led devilry, reminiscent of Robert Burnss Tam o Shanter, and an urgent plea for tolerance.

“He writes with the confidence of a poet who knows how words work; all the structure and the hard graft of crafting poems are hidden in accessible lines. Adamson moves easily between Scots and English. The poems here are rooted in landscape and fuse history and myth with the now … throughout he hooks the reader into human experience. (Charlie Gracie, Northwords)
