One of my weekly things is choosing Poem of The Week for The Scotsman. Been doing it for the last 2+ years. A labour of love which motivates me to read loads of new poetry collections that come in to the Scottish Poetry Library. This week was a poem by Christopher Crawford. Love his new collection.
