Square Baw
Scotland Street Press (Verlag)

Square Baw is a collection of football poems that not only covers personal experience, but takes a deep dive into the history of the Scottish game itself, and thereby goes to the heart of Scottish masculinity.
'Hamish’s love of the beautiful game shines like a floodlight in this beezer of a collection. He effortlessly combines the punchy, gallus fever of the terraces with this tender, lyrical, homage to football’s past. A master of language, a poet secure in his craft, the Bankies Bard has done it again!' Julie McNeil, Poet, author of We Are Scottish Football and co-editor of A Most Unsuitable Game
