Natural Mechanical
Poems

POETRY BOOK SOCIETY RECOMMENDATION

'Natural Mechanical is wonderful - a memoir written in language that is cannily involved with the ordinary miracles of childhood. By looking hard and exactly at particular things in a particular place, it speaks to everyone, everywhere' Andrew Motion

'Remarkable. A gem of a poem' Simon Armitage

'Natural Mechanical is a bold and very modern take on how to portray the soul of a Scot whose passions will chime with many countryfolk, even - perhaps particularly - those now thirled to a city treadmill' Rosemary Goring, The Herald

'This arrestingly lovely memoir' The Scotsman
