Diverted to Split

Diverted to Split is Hugh McMillans new poetry book, his sixth from Luath. As before, his poetry ranges widely in subject matter, from his friends and family to his travels and his politics, and deals with lifes great issues, love and mortality. Andrew Greig has noted that McMillans poetry finds the universal in the microscopically personal, a platform, a verge, a wake, a train ride. As ever, humour plays a large part, sometimes bleak, sometimes wholehearted, but youre never laughing so much you lose sight of the human story, its triumphs, its ultimate failures. This poetry collection will not only be a hit with fans of Hugh McMillans work, but any poetry lover that is seeking for warmth and the wit of humans during these turbulent times.
