Book Description
Edwin Morgan is Scotland's major living poet, and Inventions of Modernity is the first book-length study of his work. Since the 1940s Morgan's poetry has been carving out an alternative to the conventional evolutions from Modernism to Postmodernism, creating instead a substantial body ofwriting that ranges from the sublime to the hilarious. Morgan develops radical and libertarian poetics in an encyclopaedia of forms; from Anglo-Saxon meter through sonnet-sequences to concrete poems, and including gay poetry, science fiction verse, and prize-winning translations into both Englishand Scots from numerous languages.

Aspects of Form and Genre in the Poetry of Edwin Morgan
Author: Rodney EdgecombePublisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443807567
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
Edwin Morgan was born in 1920 in Glasgow and studied at Glasgow University where he later taught literature. He is much admired for his experimental writings, his ‘social’ poems, as well as for the diversity of his output. The present book comprises a chapter on Morgan’s early vision poems (which have received scant critical attention hitherto); two on his hodoiporika, The Cape of Good Hope and The New Divan; a chapter on his deployment of the grotesque mode, centred chiefly on the Instamatic Poems and The Whittrick; another on his adaptations of the elegy, in which Edgecombe propose a new genre called the “thanasimon;” and, finally, an examination of his various monologic poems, read in terms of his avowed enterprise of “voicing” the universe. The study is topped by a prologue that sets out the consistency of Morgan’s vision over time, and tailed by an epilogue that connects his various critical pronouncements to his remarkably diverse output.

Book Description
Edwin Morgan was appointed Poet Laureate of Glasgow in 1999, and many of these poems reflect the life of the city both now and in the past. But equally the poetry moves to other places and other worlds. A sequence of poems about a demon allows the mind to expatiate on a wide range of subjects, social, psychological, philosophical. Some of the poems have been set to music, both jazz and classical. In many ways it is a book of voices and observation, a book of accessible storytelling.

Pages : 126
Book Description
As Others See Us is based on a new photographic exhibition from Tricia Malley and Ross Gillespie, who together form the renowned partnership broad daylight. It forms part of Homecoming 2009, celebrating the 250th anniversary of Robert Burns' birth. The exhibition consists of 20 portraits of prominent and influential Scots, including Eddi Reader, Edwin Morgan, Peter Howson and Janice Galloway. The portraits capture a unique insight into the sitter, enhanced by the accompanying text, as each was asked to contribute their favourite poem from Robert Burns, and to explain why it is special to them and what they think it means to Scots today. REVIEW It is a celebration of Scottish culture, reflecting and conveying through words and pictures the work of this extraordinary man and his relevance today - not only to the people of Scotland but to a wider audience. - THE DRUM
