Selected Poems 1991–2026
Jackie Kay’s Selected Poems 1991-2026 gathers together a body of work that is nothing short of exceptional. Selected Poems captures the extraordinary trajectory of Jackie Kay’s three decades in poetry.
From The Adoption Papers, winner of the very first Forward Prize thirty-five years ago, to May Day, published in 2024 to widespread acclaim, Kay has for decades written eloquently about love and the grief which is its obverse. The poems collated here range widely through time and space, from the Glasgow of the poet’s childhood around the world and through history, but all with the distinct devotional aspect which has always characterized Jackie Kay’s work.
