Lantern Scottish Poetry: "Male friendships: Andrew Greig and Michael Pedersen".

'Me and my Dad will just about manage a handshake'. Is male emotionality a barrier we have to break down? And are male friendships changing generationally? Poets Andrew Greig and Michael Pedersen join Scottish Makar Kathleen Jamie and Alistair Heather to examine, through their own work, how relationships between males are depicted in Scottish writing.
