- Book Synopsis
- Dynamic first collection from this popular Scottish poet, The Night Jar lifts the lid on a fizzing range of personas, dramas and states of mind - presenting them for our delight: 'I collect the materials of the small hours, / all that gorgeous paraphernalia.' Peterkin explores the expectations and limits of being human with lashings of wit and sometimes a disquieting note of threat. Mad cap, extravagant, urban and questioning, this is a collection no one will forget.
