Congratulations to Pippa Little! (Best Scottish Poems 2016)

We’re delighted to share that one of the poems from Aiblins, Pippa Little’s ‘For Refuge,’ has been included in the Scottish Poetry Library’s Best Scottish Poems of 2016 list! We were moved by Pippa’s piece when she submitted it and honoured to include it in our anthology. Thank you to the list’s editor this year, Catherine Lockerbie, for your kind words about ‘For Refuge’ and about Aiblins.

You can read ‘For Refuge’ along with all of the other poems on the list on the SPL website. Aiblins is available on loan from the SPL and National Library of Scotland, to purchase through your local bookstore, or online through the World Book Depository. Enjoy!
