Plays & Poetry

This is the much anticipated third poetry collection from Alexander McCall Smith. In The Kind Company of Others he guides the reader by the hand and takes them through time and place, exploring the majestic themes of nature and the complexities of relationships and what it is that makes us human with his trademark warmth and humour.

Jaki McCarrick’s debut poetry collection, Sweeney as a Girl, opens with the title poem which recasts the crazed king of Irish legend as a modern-day female struggling to cope with the distractions and pressures of our age.
