These are poems of celebration, revealing how the poet has been formed and, in turn, formed the people around them.</p><p>Scottishness, queerness and joy culminate in a vibrant collection in which the positive effects of love - familial, romantic, platonic - are cherished; and the communities and connections that shape us are honoured in turn.</p><p>Writing in both Scots and Standard English, <em>Lay Down with Dogs</em> contains lyric poems, autobiographical poems, humorous rhyming pieces, narrative snapshots of different characters and experiments with different forms. Split into three parts addressing childhood, queer desire, nature and politics, these poems are a paean of working class life, queer triumph and the sensual power of poetry.</p>...(*_*)9781472158802_<p><em>Goonie</em>, the raw and joyful debut collection from award-winning Scottish poet and spoken word artist Michael Mullen, begs the question what is community?

These poems show the power of acceptance, togetherness and creative expression.</p><p>All aspects of Mullens life as a performer, a poet, a queer son, a Scot, a working-class boy, come together on the page to form a collection that casts a sceptical eye on identity whilst also championing it. Ultimately, <em>Goonie</em> address the ties that bind: it is a testament to how love - of ourselves, our heritage, our landscape, each other - transforms everything.</p>...(*_*)9781472158802_<p><em>Goonie</em> is the raw and joyful debut collection from award-winning Scottish poet and spoken word artist Michael Mullen.</p><p>Whether exploring queerness through fierce lyrical poetry or celebrating Mullens beloved Scotland through vernacular vignettes, <em>Goonie</em>s main preoccupation is with how we form community around us and how community, in turn, forms us.</p><p>Many of the themes are encapsulated by the title poem as the narrator readies themselves to take the stage and perform for their older relatives wearing an old goonie (a nightdress): Ma aunt raising her vodka Iron-Bru, a tumblr ae noxious flame, a toast / tae me, n ma frilly jig. <em>Awk A jist lettum wear witever he wahnts tae wear</em>.</p><p>In <em>Goonie,</em> the oral tradition of Scots combines with whip-sharp Glaswegian humour to bring alive in language and form the full spectrum of human connection: working class friends gathering round a fire, a living room ceilidh, an chat in the hairdressers chair, a queer awakening.
