Book Synopsis

Lay Down with Dogs is the debut collection from award-winning Scottish poet, Michael Mullen. These are poems of celebration, revealing how the poet has been formed and, in turn, formed the people around them.

Scottishness, queerness and joy culminate in a vibrant collection in which the positive effects of love - familial, romantic, platonic - are cherished; and the communities and connections that shape us are honoured in turn.

Writing in both Scots and Standard English, Lay Down with Dogs contains lyric poems, autobiographical poems, humorous rhyming pieces, narrative snapshots of different characters and experiments with different forms. Split into three parts addressing childhood, queer desire, nature and politics, these poems are a paean of working class life, queer triumph and the sensual power of poetry.
