Scrap Mettle
‘Great writers are great no matter the genre or form, they carry their preoccupations, their wisdom, wherever they go – and Willy Maley is one of our very finest. In Scrap Mettle, he brings all the endlessly curious, interrogative spirit that pervades his dramatic and critical writing to poetic form. At times playful, at times deadly serious, he draws on inspiration through the generations, both literary and familial, to cast a cool eye over our here-and-now world. These are poems of communities, delivered with warmth, humour, and trademark wit.’
Dr. Rodge Glass
