Regular outbursts of enthusiastic clapping are probably not immediately associated with poetry readings – but then Tales of a Cosmic Crofter is no ordinary book of poems.
This is the latest work by Donald S Murray – brought up in Ness, living in Shetland and for the purposes of this book at least, a gallivanting citizen of the universe.

On Wednesday evening March 19, Donald S. Murray launched his new book of poems, songs and prose to a full house at Taigh Dhonnchaidh arts and music venue in Ness on the Isle of Lewis with backing of publishers, The Islands Book Trust (reports Netty Sopata).
The collection of work within the book — ‘Leaving Songs’ – pulls together the stories he collated and began to visualise, “almost like paintings,” whilst researching the emigration history of Hebrideans travelling to the new world on transatlantic liners the ‘Metagama’ and the ‘Marloch’.

A new poetry collection, TALES OF A COSMIC CROFTER, by Donald S Murray, is out in April.
The new book is partly inspired by the Gaelic children’s entertainer and his large canon of songs about tractors and life in the Gàidhealtachd.
