The Referendum Rant: Poetry Competition to commemorate the Scottish Referendum on September 18th 2014, with Introduction by Professor Alan Riach

0/5 ( ratings)

Of all the “consultations “ with “the people” that have taken place in recent times, the Scottish Referendum of 2014 was certainly the most emotional. There were very few who were neutral; the campaign was dominated by those who strongly believed in YES for an independent Scotland, or NO for the political status quo within the Union of Great Britain.
The violence of this campaign was expressed in poster, discussion, and newspaper article. The Referendum Rant gave an opportunity for feelings to be expressed as poems. There were nearly 150 contributors.
Here there is everything from bigoted violence to wistful concern; but remember these are the work of patriots as you laugh , sneer and cry, your way through the Referendum Rants.
