Richard Hammersley is a health psychologist who had a long
university career and still practices from his family home in the
Scottish Borders. He has been writing poetry since he was 13, in
parallel with his academic career, which took him to the USA and
Canada and then to various universities in Scotland, England and
Wales. He has published and performed in various places over the
years, occasionally even getting paid, and he has never stopped
writing. This book is his selected poems. Are they 'psychological'?
You decide. The poems are dry, accessible and sometimes funny. They
are often about when things go slightly, or seriously, wrong, but
are also about love and values, as well as about politics and
policies. The book includes Borders which contains poems about
place and nature written living in the Scottish Borders. Haiku,
mostly written just before and during the Covid-19 pandemic and The
Fear of Winter which is a long poem sequence about social collapse.
