Grain
John Glenday
Grain is a mature, distilled volume, at times delicately lyrical, at times playful or surreal. Meanings shift and unfold. A poem might take as a starting point a tin of peaches or an etching of a line of trees, but it always reaches towards something more.
Scotland on Sunday
A few weeks ago I went to Edinburgh’s Scottish Poetry Library for the launch of John Glenday’s beautiful new book, Grain.

Really enjoyed Grain. Especially "The Ugly" and St Orage.
but somewhat disappointed not to see St Icks and St Onés (the patrons of those in plaster of Paris) not mentioned in that poem. ;<)
