Summary
An exceptional Scottish debut, Fetch stands out for its formal dexterity, linguistic hybridity and playfulness. Bramwell takes the lyric seriously, but not too seriously.

Bramwell masters everything from the prose poem to the villanelle to daring, accumulative poems; there are snatches of dramatic verse and witty tilts at the Scottish character. There are even remarkable open translations into Scots from Latin American and Chinese poets.” –John Glenday and Kathleen Jamie, 2020 Edwin Morgan Poetry Award
“Fower Pessoas is a revelation, and shows just how strong Scots poetry can be. What is exceptional is that Bramwell fashions distinct, plural Scots for Pessoa’s different heteronyms. The chutzpah is amazing.” –Stuart Kelly, The Scotsman
