See here for a ‘translation’ of the poem.

See some of my Burns Night readings from the past couple of years here and here.

And see also a couple of things I’ve written about Burns over the years:

* ‘Robert Burns Night: a kitsch memorial worth celebrating’ (for Edinburgh University’s student newspaper, appropriately called The Student, 2020).

* ‘Of Burns and Dawkins: Some Interesting Connections’ (A Substack post from last year)

Hello! This is the first instalment of what I hope will at least become a semi-regular series of Den Discussions, in which I speak to people I find interesting about what I think are interesting subjects. Going forward, these discussions will take the place of some of my readings from books/essays/poems etc, though those will not completely disappear. As I said, these discussions might not be regular or predictable in appearance, let alone subject, but I do hope that they become a significant part of this little Substack of mine.

Anyway, this is my first Den Discussion. It’s with my friend Matt Johnson, a writer and the author of a forthcoming book about Christopher Hitchens. This book is the topic of our conversation. I could think of nobody else so appropriate as Matt, who I admire enormously and who I am proud to call a friend, to start off this new project of mine, and I hope you enjoy our discussion.

Order Matt's excellent book: https://www.amazon.com/Hitchens-Save-Left-Rediscovering-Counter-Enlightenment/dp/1634312341
