About this book:
‘A fat bee buzzing towards the honey jar
of my scarlet lips, but he’s on the skids
of his own disappointments, and this
is my poem now, I’m holding the pen
from Dream Poetry Reading
Magi Gibson is a leading voice in Scottish poetry. She draws inferences from the little things in life (shopping for stationery, admiring a stranger’s hat, drinking tea with a friend) that affect the big issues in all our lives – growing older, poverty and loss. Gibson’s fresh, evocative (and sometimes provocative) writing is both modern and timeless. I Like Your Hat pulses with deep love, honesty, razor-sharp wit and humanity.
