Two words, hope and doubt, dominate Not All Honey, the seventh full
collection by Roddy Lumsden. These awkward cousins appear
repeatedly as the poet 'fathoms the ingredient for happy' despite a
tendency for the 'terrific melancholy' which named his last book.
Roddy Lumsden is one of the most inventive poets writing today,
always keen to explore and invent forms and to challenge the
musical limits of language. The collection veers between sequence
and stand-alone poems, the recurring subjects including viscous
liquids, popular music, folkloric beasts and relationships and
friendships with younger people. This book also reproduces
Lumsden's acclaimed limited edition short collection The Bells of
Hope which, in 51 short and exuberant 'kernel poems', records the
poet's first ever year lived alone. Shortlisted for the Saltire
Scottish Poetry Book of the Year.
