The Olive Branch is a collection of poems and prose about a world where every good is unremittingly attacked, and any progress made is all too often reversed. Yet comedy and delight, and love and hope, and tough resistance, and solidarity across nations and peoples keep breaking out, keeping us going.
The standpoint from which The Olive Branch looks at the world is Scotland, particularly Glasgow, with its socialist past and a continuing socialist tradition.
