Soft cover. Condición: New. 1st Edition. 4to. Wrappers. 500 copies printed. Joan Ure (nom de plume of Elizabeth Thomson Clark, née Carswell, 1918-1978) was best known for her work for the Scottish theatre, and her collaboration with Ian Hamilton Finlay. The only book she published in her lifetime was Two Plays (1970 - Seven Characters out of the Dream and I See Myself as This Young Girl). Alasdair Gray met Ure through Archie Hind, and is as generous about her as he is bitter about her critical predicament. "Joan's plays had few productions because she worked in Scotland where hardly any theatres use local authors. Her plays were mostly short, witty, and managements distrust new writing that is cleverer than them. They think it may be stupid . . . Since her death in 1978," he writes, "Joan's work has been unfairly neglected. I am glad to see this book of her poems." "There was this woman and she had this tiny talent. / I call it talent for things must have a name. / She had this talent that it happened to be death / to hide. She knew this empirically because, having, / the first time, tried to hide it, she / broke out in a rash. / But she was Scots and difficult to convince . . .".…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Richie McCaffery's debut collection of poems, Cairn, begins in a dedication and ends with ghosts - in between lies hoards of artefacts and long-forgotten antiquities; a police whistle, a tarnished silver spoon, the bookmark lodged in a boring book decades before that sings of a lost age. These poems find their stories in the overlooked places of everyday, and take utter delight in the unexpected image and turn of phrase. Soaring, often short and bitter-sweet, the poems form markers in the landscape of love, lore and family, making mementoes to the buried and the living.Richie McCaffery (b. 1986) lives in Stirling and studies and works as a teaching assistant at The University of Glasgow. He is the author of two poetry pamphlets, Spinning Plates (HappenStance Press, 2012) and Ballast Flint (Cromarty Arts Trust, 2013). His poems have appeared in journals and anthologies such as The Dark Horse, Stand, The Rialto and The Best British Poetry 2012.…

Hardback. Condición: New. This study is the first exploration of the impact of World War Two on Scottish poets of both the front line and the home front. World War One has always been thought of as a poet's war, one of horror and futility. The poetry of World War Two, by contrast, has long languished in its shadow, though there was a much greater amount of it written. This book asks whether these poets felt they were grown for war or rather that they grew through war experience, with an emphasis on the possibilities of the future instead of cataloguing the senseless horror of the battlefield. How were the hopes of Scottish poets different from their English counterparts? How was their poetry different, and how did it impact on their later lives.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Sydney Goodsir Smith, Poet: Essays on His Life and Work offers the first substantial work to assess his life and writings since his premature death in 1975. Considered a major figure in the second wave of Hugh MacDiarmid's 'Scottish Literary Renaissance', Smith's unique body of work has largely fallen from critical discussion of post-war Scottish literature. This book remedies this by showing how his work may have fallen out of favour, and then by reappraising his distinctive and varied achievements in poetry, drama, art and art criticism, the novel and translations. Early career and established academics explore the many strands of his work as the best way of giving this multifaceted literary figure renewed attention.…
