Paperback. Etat : Very Good Plus. 1st Ed. 1975. 32pp. Poems in Scots and English by Clifford Hanley published under one of his alter egos. "In an age when poets have come down from their garrets to become public figures, reading their lines in pubs and clubs and on television, Ebenezer Mcilwham remains the classic recluse who clearly believes that the words are the man, the man himself a shadow. ? He has never presumed to style himself a poet, and the modern school withholds that title from a writer whose lines have the audacity to rhyme and scan. But whether or not they penetrate to the marrow of the human condition, the Mcllwham verses display a proper intoxication with the ring of words. Whatever they mean, and they certainly mean something, they sing. If he takes liberties with the Lowland Scots tongue, and throws in a phrase for the sheer music of it, he is merely demonstrating his besotted love of the language, which goes beyond the semantic burrowing of the new academics". Cover has very slight fading to spine. Otherwise in excellent condition.
