Thomson refers to the graphic descriptions in 'Glasgow Green', a poem written in the 1960s about what could be a male rape. 'He describes this liaison with this male thug, which sounds as if it is either very dark, dangerous and exciting or extremely violent,' he says. 'When you read it from an LGBT perspective, the references are sharp, barbed, biting and sometimes painful.'
