Scales Dog, really a New and Selected Poems by
Alexander Hutchison is now out, published by
Salt. His last collection,
Carbon Atom, much of which is included in
Scales Dog, was terrific. I’m going to have to leave buying
Scales Dog until January (and wouldn’t have time to start reading it until then anyway), but it looks like being one of the best collections of the year - if the rest of it is as good as the bits and pieces I've read so far.
