Hunters of the Empire

I am delighted that Seahorse has selected ‘Hunters of the Empire’ for its up and coming Glasgow anthology. The poem is inspired by a delicate Wardian case that was one of the pieces on display as part of an exhibition at the GOMA in Glasgow. Of course it will not include the image as it seems an impossibility for two art forms to be considered as one by the same artist - a complete bug bear of mine. It references Glasgow’s rather shadowy connection to the slave trade.
