Ire & Salt

Set to the backdrop of the referendum on Scottish independence, the pieces represented in Jenny Lindsay’s second pamphlet reflect a personal journey grappling with the contradictions in Scottish culture, in calls for independence, and in the way we view and try to attain personal and political power. Empowerment, individualism, autonomy, alienation - this pamphlet flips the lid on a life where depression and anxiety meets hopeful and inspiring political engagement meets frustration, ire and salt.

“A distinctive voice. Full of fire and passion.” (Scottish Review of Books)

“Defiant, eloquent and inspiring.” (Andrew Eaton-Lewis, The Scotsman)
