The much-loved and much-missed Scottish poet and translator, Alexander 'Sandy' Hutchison, is the latest subject of the Nothing But The Poem podcast, presented by our regular host, Samuel Tongue.

David Kinloch said of his work: "Alexander Hutchison's poetry is elegant, flighty and absurdist by turns."

WN Herbert wrote: "Sandy Hutchison's poetry exhibits a gleeful acquisitive fascination with the language."

"A mentor, a bristling master, and a total original." - August Kleinzahler

The two poems by Alexander Hutchison discussed by the Friends of the SPL group in this podcast are Gavia Stellata and Everything.
