SUMMARY:Colin Bramwell: Fetch
DESCRIPTION:Join us to launch Colin Bramwell’s poetry collection Fetch. \nAbout the author\nColin Bramwell was born in Ayrshire\, grew up in Fortrose on the Black Isle and lives in Edinburgh. His poetry and criticism has appeared in Poetry Review\, Irish Pages\, The London Magazine\, PN Review\, Magma\, The Rialto\, New Writing Scotland\, Interpret\, Poetry Scotland\, Poetry London\, Poetry Ireland Review and The Scotsman\, as well as in his pamphlet The Highland Citizenship Test. He was the runner-up for the 2020 Edwin Morgan Prize. His translations of Taiwanese poets won the John Dryden Translation Competition and the Lucien Stryk Asian Translation Prize. Fower Pessoas\, his rendition of Fernando Pessoa into Scots\, was published by Carcanet in 2025 and was shortlisted for Scots Book of the Year. \nAbout Fetch\nIn Celtic folklore a fetch is a shadowy doppelganger that appears from the Otherworld\, portending the beholder’s fate. Your fetch ‘fetches’ you to the afterlife\, willingly or otherwise. Bramwell’s poetry uses the fetch as a model to explore a number of overlapping binaries – between the reader and the poem\, most of all.\nFetch also meditates on the differences between music and speech\, the sacred and the profane\, the written and the real\, humanity and nature\, Scots and English. Incorporating multitudes of modes\, forms\, registers and subjects\, Bramwell converses with the Anglo-Celtic lyric tradition in our own time and in his own distinctively amiable fashion. In other words\, this poet takes poetry seriously – but not too seriously.\nFetch is an astonishingly musical tour-de-force from one of Britain’s most exciting new poets\, in which reverence and irreverence\, religion and faithlessness\, the living and the dead\, nearly rhyme. \nJoin us for a drink\, a reading and a discussion.\nThe event is free to attend. Space is limited. Please RSVP to read@heronbooks.co.uk.
