Synopsis

‘This is a marvellous book, revealing for the first time the full range of generous wit with which Edwin Morgan wrote radical new poetries.’ – Drew Milne, author of In Darkest Capital: Collected Poems

‘An artfully curated volume that showcases the many dimensions of Morgan’s practice.’ – Johanna Drucker, author of Inventing the Alphabet

Edwin Morgan is best remembered as Scotland’s foremost national poet, a bold, lyric voice who shaped conversations around queerness, politics and post-war life. But Morgan was also a restless experimenter working far beyond traditional verse. This book brings together, for the first time, the full range of his visual and sound poetry – from vibrant poster poems and surrealist collages to concrete poetry, cut-ups and poem-sculptures. It reveals Morgan as a major figure in twentieth-century multimedia art, linking language, image and sound in surprising and timely ways. Attuned to questions of identity, ecology and empire, Morgan’s work remains as urgent and inventive as ever – a celebration of poetic form at its most expansive and alive.
