Description:
Kit Masters offerings to Tales from the Northland are deeply introspective, but socially conscious, his words flow off the page. Toffee textured prose and fire clayed poetry consider life in twenty first century Britain.
Meet The Couple as they fall in love in Edinburgh, mentor the troubled young man Connah, dive into the waters of obsession created in A glance.
Kit Masters is the author of the novellas Ruta and Peilis.
On one hand Rosie Glasgow’s offerings cast light on the stark reality of the political situation within the country that is the UK, largely from a Scottish and Northern Irish perspective. On the other hand, they deal with the failings of the psychiatric system on a personal level. Undertones of gender discrimination still prevalent in modern society can be felt as can the discrimination directed to those who find themselves in the grip of a mental health diagnosis.
Her novella, The Disappearance is partly autobiographical with Magdalene’s life experiences mirroring her own. The poetic content throughout the novella speaks of her own opinions and innermost thoughts and beliefs.
Her short stories, the likes of The ferry back to Scotland, The door to Belfast and Revelations aim to build up a new world that she is using in a series of Novels she is in the process of writing. The first being Yes, Today which further examines the UK psychiatric systems failings to its patients.
As a sub theme, along with her play This New Republic, her writing deals with the undercurrent of political unrest in Scottish and Northern Irish society.
Both Kit Masters and Rosie Glasgow’s poetry are the accumulation of a life of writing, laying bare their innermost fears and desires.
