We've just been putting the finishing touches to the latest publication from New Dead Language. Beaten Gold is a collection of 17 poems by Jim Moncrieff. This, his second collection (after Seasonsong published in 1998 by The Shetland Times), will be launched on Saturday 6th September 2008 at the Wordplay book festival in Shetland. The poems are complemented by a series of eight illustrations from artist Andrew Morrison.
