Edinburgh-resident poet Ryan Van Winkle from Tomorrow, We Will Live Here (Salt, £9.99) intrigues us from the title in, and as readers we also experience the "talk talk talk", and the waves' conversations. Deceptively straightforward delivery masks a complexity of longing and regret.
Van Winkle recently finished his three-year tenure as reader-in-residence at the Scottish Poetry Library, and will be appearing at this year's Edinburgh International Book Festival (29 August) .
