Description
The Flechitorium
'The Flechitorium presents an enormous range of subject matters, forms, styles and language but all of them are lynch-pinned bythe author's deep and sometimes ambivalent relationship withhis native Fife ... But what is a "Flechitorium"? You'll have toread the poem therein to find out, dear reader, but be careful- this is a collect on with a real bite to it.
'On the bill in this particular Flechitorium are a fistul ofnarrative ballads, historical and humorous to get us of to aflier. Then the mood changes and becomes more reflectiveand sombre ... That old Scottish literary tradition of flytingis resumed and developed in the contretemps between theallegorical squirrel and the peacock in Dunfermline Glen ....And as a bonus, the gathering of braw poems is enhanced bya sulfurous tale to conclude - though one more RLS thanHammer House of Horror.
'The Flechitorium is a delicious Fife broth or even Langtounbouillabaisse ... with its many hints and references to otherliterary cuisines beyond Fife and Scotland. At times it is funny, at others serious, it is always humane in its span of concernsfrom bawdy to spiritual yet the poems are crafted to addressand engage intellectually as well as emotionally. Whethersupped with short or lang spuin it will satisfy all tastes.'
From the Preface by William Hershaw
