The First Blast to Awaken Women Degenerate by the inaugural BBC Scotland Poet-In-Residence Rachel McCrum is both lyrical and gentle, demanding and fierce as it carves its own path through themes of family, place, environment, and repression. The poems in the collection are fragments of McCrum's sea-bourne journey from Northern Island, across Scotland, and alighting in Canada. It's a collection about leaving home and what you take with you. About Rachel McCrum Rachel McCrum was born in 1982 and grew up in Donaghadee, Northern Ireland.

It's a collection about leaving home and what you take with you. About Rachel McCrum Rachel McCrum was born in 1982 and grew up in Donaghadee, Northern Ireland.

Reviews Francesca Beard: [These voices] come in, banging doors, from the street and the public house and the rented room above the library, with a blast of salt air and the smell of malt and red-knuckled ideas that say 'Let's dance' and there's so much oxygen in them, to breathe them in is rich for the blood. Stuart Kelly, The Scotsman: There is a great deal of won humour and wonder here. […] The whole collection manages to take the lyrical and whittle it into the political. […] Time and again there are snatches that stick in the memory Annie Rutherford, The Skinny: [McCrum's] poems - irreverent, heart-wrenching, rallying - have etched themselves into the literary landscape of the country she has now left behind. […] There are poems of the sea, bracing and surprising as spray-slapped salt air […] humour, passion and delightful monstrosity Arusa Qureshi, The List: Another impassioned addition to her repertoire […] soulful and yet defiant Alison Craig, The Bottle Imp: A voice that sings, rages, roars as you read. These poems make their own stage. The voice is an extraordinary one: strident, angry, full of blood and air, but then tender, lyrical, quiet.
