PRAISE FOR ANDREW'S POETRY "From the subtle irony of poems like 'Angina Pectoris' and 'being dead', through the political cynicism of 'Thistles', to the delicate feeling of his nature and love poems, McCallum reveals a refreshing versatility of tone and style." - Southlands Poetry Review "Intelligent, lively-minded and thoroughly engaged in pursuing the muse." - Chapman "McCallum's poems possess a layered allusiveness; the are both discovery and invention." - Boston Review "A collection of poems in Scots and English that powerfully evoke both a rootedness in the local landscape and an openness to the larger questions of life." - Ereignis "I thoroughly enjoyed these poems: their handling of Scots is splendid - masterly and sensible." - HappenStance
