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.
