Description

May Day is a new poetry collection from Jackie Kay, Scotland's former Makar. Spanning several decades of activism, these poems explore international solidarity, feminist, LGBT+ and anti-racist movements, and the intersection of global events with personal loss.

The collection delves beneath the surfaces of received narratives, bringing to life influential figures such as Fanny Eaton, Paul Robeson, and Audre Lorde. It also features a 'what-if' poem concerning Rabbie Burns and the road not taken towards the West Indian slave trade.

Woven through the collection are poems of grief and profound change, infused with the light of love and celebration, particularly in response to the recent losses of Kay's parents.
