• A Drunk Man Looks At The Thistle

  Hugh MacDiarmid

  
  It was Hugh MacDiarmid - born Christopher Murray Grieve - who in the middle 1920s inspired a literary Renaissance in Scotland. It was during this time that he wrote A Drunk Man Looks at The Thistle, called by David Daiches "the greatest long poem ... in Scottish literature and one of the greatest in any literature." Of the generation of Pound and Eliot, MacDiarmid shines forth in this poem as their equal in giving poetic form to modern man's philosophical ruminiations over the meanings of birth, life, death and infinity. This edition makes MacDiarmid's masterwork available to a general audience for the first time. It is designed for the reader who has no Scots, with English marginal gloss, explanatory notes, critical commentary and background information by John C. Weston.

• Raucle Tongue: Volume 2 (Lives & Letters: Macdiarmid 2000)

  Hugh MacDiarmid

  
  Quarried from newspapers and journals, in which Hugh MacDiarmid(C.M. Grieve) wrote under a variety of pseudonyms, this collection -- the second -- reflects his enduring interests and eclectic range of concerns.

   

  It is in writings like those collected here that MacDiarmid spoke most freely and suggestively. He was unable to conform, to toe the line, to join committees and groups. Whatever his declared politics (and he declared his politics in many different ways) he was at heart a deeply humane anarchist.
  
   

• The Revolutionary Art of the Future: Rediscovered Poems

  Hugh MacDiarmid

  
  This is a selection from 300 newly discovered poems, found in the archives of the National Library of Scotland. They have never been published before. The range of subjects is extraordinary: thoughtful, provocative poems about sexuality and identity, marriage and divorce. There are comic squibs, short immediately accessible rhyming satires on the uselessness of men, the hypocrisy of the Church and the complacency of the bourgeoisie. This publication is supported by the National Library of Scotland.
