Kin: Scottish Poems About Family

Family is the one thing we all know about—whether family gives you strength, or breaks your heart, whether your idea of family stays steadfast through generations, or whether your family is a million miles away from 2.4 kids or rosy-cheeked grannies. This book helps us think about and celebrate family moments and family members. The content ranges from Robert Burns to Liz Lochhead, from happy babies to the death of a father. It is the fourth in the series of anthologies which provide words for important occasions (Handfast, Handsel and Lament, also published by Polygon).
