Whit if? Summary

Whit if?: Illustratit edition by Hugh McMillan

Hugh McMillans first collection in Scots, Whit if? poses the questions that you never thought to ask about Scottish history like Whit if Alexander haed Twitter?, Whit if John Knox haed fawen in luve wi Mary Queen o Scots? and Whit if Jacques Brel haed jynt the Corries?

As both poet and long-time student of Scotlands strange and undervalued history, McMillan is the ideal guide to all the micht-hiv-bins of Scottish history, as well as all that wis. Humour is guaranteed, but that doesnt mean he wont be digging up many an educational gem along the way!

Whit if? Reviews

There is more than an air of fun in the concept but to file this book under whimsy or nonsense would be to completely miss the careful craft and considered structure that is so emblematic of Hughs poetry and which makes Whit If worth of your attention and yer bawbees. NORTHWORDS NOW

To hear Hugh McMillan read his poems is to be in the presence of a comedian of genius, as he delivers line after line of punching humour in a slightly surprised, smiling voice, so that we laugh and laugh but are left well aware that life isnt funny. TESSA RANSFORD, Author of Not Just Moonshine

Hugh McMillans poetry... works like resonant and intricately packed short stories. LESLEY GLAISTER, Author of Blasted Things
