More about this item
The fifty-nine poems in this book form the first representative
collection of Edwin Morgan's work.
"Edwin Morgan, formerly [sic] of Glasgow University,
is a frequent broadcaster, and his verse is regularly published
in journals, periodicals and the poetry 'sporadicals', both
in this country and abroad; but the fifty-nine poems in this
book form the first, long-overdue representative collection
of his work."
The collection includes concrete and science-fiction poems,
love poems and poems about Glasgow, including many of Morgan's
best-known works. The contents pages give a date of composition
for all poems (between August 1962 and May 1967, with one poem
from 1955), though the poems are sequenced thematically rather
than chronologically.
"The book was typeset by computer... It is supplied
ex-works with a transparent plastic dustcover, has many unusual
typographical features and all copies are in duotone white
and off-concrete buff - white for the conventional poems
and buff for the concrete ones. The cover is a yellow-and-white
sunflower."
