"Glaswegian is here to stay as a literary language even if it makes some folk jist aboot sick tae fooken death"
- Guardian
Jim Ferguson is well known in the Glasgow area as a performer of his own work. The Art of Catching A Bus is his first book of poetry, though his poems have appeared previously in numerous pamphlets and periodicals.
"The Art of Catching A Bus" expresses Jim Ferguson's personal and political anger and commitment. Written predominantly in the Glasgow dialect, JimÕs poetry challenges anglo-centric notions of expression and emphasises the power of the language of his native city.
