The Skin of a Dog

Christopher Lightfoot’s The Skin of a Dog is a collection of four linked poems by this young Scottish writer, tackling themes of transformation, perception and identity.

Each of the the four poems in the collection – The Skin of a Dog, Dragonfly, Snake and Seal – use simple yet evocative language to explore perception from a particular viewpoint, showing a strange new perspective on the world.

An imaginative journey through the subtleties of personal experience, The Skin of a Dog is a uniquely original work that is as accessible as it is entrancing.
