Variations on a new song - poems from the Holyrood Poetry Link 2000
 
In contrast perhaps to most anthologies, this booklet contains exclusively public poetry… Each poem has been written by a poet linked with an MSP through the Scottish Poetry Library’s Holyrood Poetry Link Scheme, and each poet has, in his or her own way, articulated some of the hopes and dreams, fears and concerns of the constituency they represent. The wide variety of voices, places and ideas in the collection reflects the diversity of comtemporary Scotland.

Excerpt from a foreword by The Rt. Hon. Sir David Steel KBE
