Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throw a stone in Edinburgh or Glasgow today and you'll hit a poet. The Scottish spoken word scene has exploded, reaching a level of popularity last seen in the late 1970s, another era, coincidentally, when the issue of Scottish self-determination was in the air. A generation of poets has emerged who have grown up in an age of change, political and technological, with the internet providing them not only with new ways of sharing writing - through their websites, podcasts, Twitter - but also in some cases with a subject too. It's a scene where you are just as liable to encounter ancient gods as you are video game characters. This book is a survey, a yearbook, a celebration, and a promise of things to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selections From the Early Scottish Poets: Edited With Introductionm, Notes and Glossary It is a common error to regard the Scottish language as a corrupted and somewhat barbarous dialect of English. So far from this being so, the Lowland Scots is an ancient tongue, at least as ancient as that spoken on the Thames, and fully as well entitled to call itself English, as being the direct descendant of the old Northern or Angle speech. In the very earliest Old English (or Anglo-Saxon) literature we find four forms of speech: the Northumbrian north of the Humber, the Mercian or Midland between the Humber and the Thames, the West Saxon at the south, and the Kentish in the south-east. Of these the Northumbrian and the Midland were both Anglian, or developments of the language of the Angles, the most numerous and powerful of the conquerors of Britain.
