Next to Nothing records the years following the death of a beloved child in 2001. Though bereft of belief in the poetic outcome compared to the apocalypse of the loss itself (one sense of the title), the fidelity of these poems to the "heartscapes" of grief constitutes, nonetheless, a work of genuine honouring - spare, delicate, and deeply moving.

Hutchison is a "poet's poet" who has been setting standards outside the mainstream, but is now attracting a broader audience too. Scales Dog is a book which ranges widely with invention and delight. It is distinctively Scottish in some respects - but the appeal is international. It has depth and humour to carry its readers all the way through.
Mangeot's characters face complex situations or decisions that define the nature of what it means to be human: our capacity for good, evil, strength and weakness. His writing shifts effortlessly between haunting, poetic rhythms and fast, sharp-edged dialogue.

Set mostly in the early 1950s, this is a highly fictionalised account of an unmarried woman's struggle with her family and with society at large during her pregnancy and the years following.
