  Ceci n'est pas Stonehenge', this is the cosmos,distilled to elemental rock and stone,depicting that interstellar collision,four billion years away, a chaosof realignment unimaginable,when all the worlds we knew or didn't knowosmotically pass through each other like ghosts,to form new galaxies intangible.
  Written mostly in Scots, Rab Wilson's new collection is a timely comment on our climate of zero hours contracts and benefits sanctions. From social issues to politics, from the sublime to the absurd, Wilson homes in on the unique aspects of life in Scotland and sets out his poetic manifesto for our country's future.
  Rab Wilson is a widely published Scots poet, and has performed his work to all kinds of audiences throughout Scotland.

  This House - Poems

  Rehema Njambi

  Rehema Njambi unpacks identity, faith, womanhood and – above all – agency, in poems partly inspired by conversations with the Black, mostly African, women around her.
  
  Imbued with quiet resistance to patriarchal societies, Njambi's debut collection is an ode to the women who have raised her, and their strength and their ability to hold, sustain, and be rooted in their faith. The poems resound with their idea of home, and belonging they wish to pass on to their daughters.
  GHOSTS IN THIS HOUSE
  There were footsteps in the dark all night,
  
  almost every night, and we were scared —
  
  but we didn't say a thing.
  She called us to prayer in the morning, every morning.
  
  With our small hands and smaller faith
  we asked the Lord for protection —
  
  but He didn't say a thing.
