ADRIAN: Scotland Celebrates Adrian Mitchell

Read about it in the Times Online

Adrian Mitchell, who sadly died just before Christmas 2008 was one of poetry's heroes. The Bakehouse and Markings are proud to publish this anthology of poetry to celebrate his life. The anthology has a loving introduction by Edwin Morgan (Scotland’s first Laureate) and contains poems by many of Scotland’s leading poets, friends who loved him, and others who were influenced by his work and share his values. It is our act of celebration and recognition and we hope these voices will continue to raise a song and make a racket for Adrian and everything he stood for many years to come.
