WINNER OF THE 2006 FORWARD PRIZE In Scots, the verb 'swither' has
two meanings: to be doubtful, to waver, to be in two minds; and to
appear in shifting forms - indeterminate and volatile. From
disarmingly direct poems about the end of childhood to erotically
charged lyrics about the ends of desire, Robertson's powerful third
collection is stalked and haunted by both senses. Hard-edged,
pitch-perfect, effortlessly various, Swithering is a book of brave
and black romance, locating its voice in that space where great
change is an ever-present possibility. Swithering has just won the
Forward Prize for Best Collection and is also shortlisted for this
year's T.S. Eliot Prize.
