National Poetry Day <http://www.nationalpoetryday.co.uk/>  2011 is on Thursday 6 October.
To celebrate the occasion, we feature the work of six contemporary Scottish poets. These poems were included in the pamphlets shortlisted for our 2011 Callum Macdonald Memorial Award <http://www.nls.uk/about-us/awards/callum-macdonald-memorial-award> .
