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.
