If This Were Real

Gerda Stevenson invites readers into a world rich with music – skipping rhymes, heartfelt laments and lively dance tunes. Her poetry dances across themes of butterflies, snowberries and the bittersweet echoes of childhood, alongside reflections on Bosnia, Iraq and Scotland’s own landscapes. ‘If This Were Real’ serves as an autobiographical tapestry, weaving together personal and political narratives that resonate deeply with our shared humanity.
