Field Language by David Ross Linklater

I know David’s poetry via Instagram and bought this collection last year. My first thought on reading it was ‘why is he not huge?!’ These poems are as polished and powerful as anything you’ll find from a mainstream publisher and they tip their hat to the land and the laying of roots across space and time. There is a fantastic breakdown of the collection as a whole here and my advice is to dig in, appreciate and buy a copy (if there are any left). David can be found on Instagram at @davidrosslinklater and in many publications and open mic nights across Scotland.
