This month sees the publication of Issues 99 and 100 of Poetry Scotland – the last under the editorship of Sally Evans, who with her husband Ian King has published the magazine from its outset. Like many poets I am indebted to Sally and to Poetry Scotland for support and encouragement, and I’m both happy and a little sad to have a poem, Demolition, in Issue 100.

The magazine, however, will go on, under the editorship of Jon Plunkett, and Sally is going on to new projects, and I’m looking forward to both. Vale atque Ave!
