Poets Knotbrook Taylor and Haworth Hodgkinson, two members of the Blue Salt Collective, have both published poetry collections this year, and they will be at Better Read Books to sign copies and perhaps to read one or two poems.
Beatitudes, Knotbrook Taylor's new poetry collection from Blue Salt Publishing is launched at wordfringe on Tuesday 8th May.

Knotbrook Taylor has been published in various Scottish literary magazines, has won a couple of poetry competitions and has performed at the Edinburgh Fringe and the Shore Poets among other venues. He sees performance as an important part of being a poet and hopes "once seen never forgotten". He recently decided to write a poem every day which has just about blown his mind. "There's a whole universe of stories, lives and questions in all of us—waiting to be formed—anyone can open the gates" he says. Just sit down and do it. |

Haworth Hodgkinson's poetry chapbook A Weakness for Mermaids was published by Koo Press in March 2007.
|
|
Born in Lancashire and resident in North-East Scotland for twenty years, Haworth Hodgkinson is best known as a poet, but he also writes short stories and is involved in music and theatre. His poetry has appeared in Storm, Pushing Out the Boat, The Broken Fiddle, Breaking New Ground, New Writing Scotland, Spinners and Spoons and Sex in the City, as well as on the Dead Good Poets and Spring Tides websites. In addition to performing as a poet and musician with the Blue Salt Collective, Haworth Hodgkinson is the Founder and Director of wordfringe. |

The Blue Salt Collective can also be seen at Woodend Barn, Banchory, on Wednesday 16th May as part of wordfringe.
