More than 80 Scottish contemporary poets - famous and unknown, male and female, young and old - contribute to a superb collection of poetry with a water theme.

Written predominantly in English, but with contributions in Scots and Gaelic, this is an anthology to ‘dip into’ throughout the year.

All royalties will be donated to WaterAid, a charity supporting water development in the Third World.

Poets include Janet Paisley, Edwin Morgan, Derick Thomson, Valerie Thornton, Angus Calder, Dilys Rose, Richard Price, Hamish Brown, John Burnside, Kenneth C. Steven, Stewart Conn, Brian McCabe, Rody Gorman, and Sheena Blackhall.
