| Synopsis: |
This personal selection spans the poet's life and lived experience, drawing together poems previously published in a range of small-press publications and a section of hitherto uncollected poems. 'John Manson is a poet of rare integrity and distinction. This is a deeply impressive collection of lean, durable poems as firm in their positioning and place as the necessary stabs and fences required on croft or smallholding. When so much of the world is given over to the venality of celebrity-culture with all its superficiality and distractions, work of this kind is apt to be undervalued or overlooked entirely. Here there is a gathering of decades, spanning a writing life over more than half a century and crossing the whole stretch of Scotland.', Alan Riach in his Introduction to the volume. |
