Anxiety Music

Kevin P. Gilday

Anxiety Music explores the fragmented nature of our modern lives and our need for real connection during an era of rampant individuality. The latest collection from Kevin P. Gilday, one of Scotland’s most celebrated contemporary poets, Anxiety Music is a darkly comedic dissection of mental health, late capitalist dread, existential angst, sexual liberation and marital breakdown.

This collection bridges page and stage, craft and performance. It is an unfiltered look at the sources of anxiety that hi-jack our lives and a personal journey to confront them – a rallying call to face the forces of anxiety wrought upon us by an uncaring society and fight back.
