I was delighted yesterday when someone facebooked me to say that Vintage Sea had been reviewed in this month's Scottish Review of Books, a quarterly pull-out mag in The Glasgow Herald. You can read it on-line here. I'm reviewed alongside poets like Elizabeth Rimmer and Gerry Cambridge whose work I much admire. There are some criticisms of my pamphlet, which I can't say are unjustified, such as: "it can be argued that the poems in Vintage Sea feel too similar to each other". Very pleased to have been reviewed."An airy, visceral mood permeates her work, which captures the narrator’s unhurried gaze"
Also, my six wee poems are now up on the new Shadow Train. I'm delighted to have some poems up there alongside Claire Crowther and Rupert Loydell no less!!

congratulations for the new house!!! we went through a year and a half ago and it is exhausting, but so exciting as well! :-)
"Marion McCready’s poems are offerings" - this is, to me, the most extraordinary praise!
13th April is a lucky day (I gave birth that day and it all worked out well!).
Will look for the SRB. I often find it a bit of a snoozepaper but it has good distribution - in most libraries, isn't it?

thanks roxana! I can't wait to get the extra space, to not have to double-line each bookshelf with a row of books in front of each other!! I may even order them alphabetically :)
rachel, that certainly is lucky then!! they even stock the SRB in my local library!

I thought so too :)
