Summary
A brilliant new collection by the prize-winning Scottish poet.
At first, these extraordinary poems may unsettle and disturb, but the next reading could be one of rapture and astonishment; it all hinges on your point of view.

Critics Review
Eliot comes repeatedly to mind in reading Interference Pattern because, in its tragic grandeur and sophistication, it is a poem that could come to be for the twenty-first century what The Waste Land was to the twentieth. – David Collard * Times Literary Supplement *
This collection carries you, unnerves and stimulates. It absolutely meets TS Eliot’s requirement that poetry be “genuine”… It is vividly miscellaneous poetry…bracing, original. – Kate Kellaway * Observer *
