Bevel by William Letford

Vivid, funny, moving, and full of awe about nature and the human world, this poetry collection is an exciting debut by a young Scottish poet, William Letford. Drawing from the poet's own experiences--traveling, falling in and out of love, and working--as well as from popular speech, these poems display a sure lyric instinct and both a Scottish and universal appeal.
'The pleasure I have gained from William Letford's poems.. will, I am confident, stay with me for ever.' - Nicholas Lezard, the Guardian
