The Firth by John Glenday
The Firth is the Firth of Tay, where John Glenday grew up and now lives again. He set out to describe this particular corner of Scotland but found he couldn't get beyond Carnoustie, Monifieth and environs; the poems grew from natural focus to character focus and ended up as a sequence that talks, a little perhaps, about the sort of people who live there and lived there - his family in particular. Many pf the poems are what he calls 'worked memories'
