Reviews

Keith Blount, Weekly Post

By turns elegiac, serious and funny, Docherty places descriptions of childhood and growing up against a wonderfully evoked background of popular culture and politics.

Ian MacMillan, The Wide Skirt

Brian Docherty writes well about politics and survival/exile

Vernon Scannell, Ambit

It is a pleasure to find work that has something to say with wit and perspicuity.
