Bøger af Tom Hubbard

A vulnerable and bullied boy vanishes from a boarding-school in an austerely beautiful part of the Scottish county of Fife. A young nurse from the American South encounters love - and culture-clash - at the school. Her beau, a teacher and former army officer, is a tense and troubled man.

From the forests of Finland to the plain of Lombardy, from a Scottish beach to a river island in Hungary,Tom Hubbard deploys the riches of the Scots language to explore that tragicomic space we call Europe.

Tom Hubbard takes us on another poetic tour of Europe, offering a number of translations (or rather transcreations) on the way. Parapets and Labyrinths, a collection of poems mainly in English (but with a significant presence of the Scots language), is a companion volume to The Chagall Winnocks, published by Grace Note Publications in 2011

`The Flechitorium presents an enormous range of subject matters, forms, styles and language but all of them are lynch-pinned by the author's deep and sometimes ambivalent relationship with his native Fife.
