I am chuffed to have a couple of poems in the new edition of The Bombay Literary Magazine, especially this one. Thanks to Karen Mackay Design for design help.
Context: Poet Sorley Maclean referred to the ‘great dead bird of Scotland’, but to me Scotland looks like a Zen garden. My native Hebridean islands are depicted with the kanji for ‘Zen garden’. Please also check out the other poets in the magazine.
