Plotting the Course: Poetry by Iain Macdonald

by Iain Macdonald

Keen perception and carefully considered expression are the touchstones of Iain Macdonald’s finely crafted poetry. No wasted word or excess sentimentality are to be found in these thoughtful examinations of family and culture, often accented with his wry sense of humor. Taking us on a journey from the old world of Glasgow to the new world of California, Iain’s poems are brewed much like the beloved single-malt whisky of his native Scotland; distilled from heritage and observation, mashed into a potent mix of insight and mystery and aged to perfection, they take on the character of the landscape around them. —Tim Ayres, The Mad River Anthology, KHSU-FM
