Diverted to Split
Hugh McMillan
Diverted to Split is Hugh McMillan’s 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 life’s great issues, love and mortality.
Andrew Greig has noted that McMillan’s 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 you’re 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 McMillan’s work, but any poetry lover that is seeking for warmth and the wit of humans during these turbulent times.
