If This Were Real

By Gerda Stevenson

In this new edition of her first full-length collection, Gerda Stevenson invites readers into a world rich with music – skipping rhymes, heartfelt laments and lively dance tunes. Her poetry dances across themes of butterflies, snowberries and the bittersweet echoes of childhood, alongside reflections on Bosnia, Iraq and Scotland’s own landscapes. If This Were Real serves as an autobiographical tapestry, weaving together personal and political narratives that resonate deeply with our shared humanity.

This collection is ideal for poetry enthusiasts, readers of contemporary Scottish literature and anyone intrigued by the interplay of personal experience and broader societal themes. It’s a perfect book for those who appreciate the musicality of language and the power of storytelling in verse.
