Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throw a stone in Edinburgh or Glasgow today and you'll hit a poet. The Scottish spoken word scene has exploded, reaching a level of popularity last seen in the late 1970s, another era, coincidentally, when the issue of Scottish self-determination was in the air. A generation of poets has emerged who have grown up in an age of change, political and technological, with the internet providing them not only with new ways of sharing writing - through their websites, podcasts, Twitter - but also in some cases with a subject too. It's a scene where you are just as liable to encounter ancient gods as you are video game characters. This book is a survey, a yearbook, a celebration, and a promise of things to come.
