Well done Lesley. It is a cracker.

Luve's Rhyme Reason Revolution

The Scots language is unfettered, the political engagement direct, the passion of a moral sensibility responding to the outrage of the world as it is: these qualities energise Lesley Benzie's fluent, fierce and yet welcoming poems. Luve's Rhyme Reason Revolution is a collection which takes us to various locations on the global map of capitalism's suicidal geopolitical exploitation and matches them with a singular personal investment in honest feeling, a world where family, love and trust can be valued at their proper price.
