Shifting between English and North-east Scots, 'Bloodsongs' is an ode to matters of the blood: queer carnality; black rage; the crude power of myth; and how history is felt in the body. Offering retellings of legends and biblical stories as well as perspectives on injustices faced today, Mae Diansangu's radical debut collection marks the arrival of an exciting new voice in Scottish poetry.
