Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Hailed by some as the most important Scottish poet since Burns, Hamish Henderson lived an epic life against the backdrop of some of the defining social, political and cultural battles both national and international of the twentieth century. A soldier, academic, folklorist, political activist, songwriter, translator and poet, he was a seminal figure in the Scottish folk revival and literary renaissance. His humanist legacy lives on in all of these spheres, but it is perhaps through his poetry that we may experience, most keenly, the method in his magic. In every verse and lyric we catch glimpses of a brilliant, complex and highly original mind, whilst also developing a fuller understanding of Hendersons lifelong mission to make poetry become people. Published to celebrate the centenary of the birth of Hamish Henderson, this collected poems is the first since the poets death and makes available, for the first time, new material from the archive. The book opens with Freedom Becomes People, first published in Chapman 42, and reproduces, in full, his Ballads of World War II and Elegies for the Dead in Cyrenaica. This volume pushes at the boundaries between high modernist poetics and popular folk song; between the profound and profane; between works of individual and collective endeavour and between the poet and his purpose.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Fist Edition Thus. 2000. 164pp. Cover illustration by Fred Crayk. "Hamish Henderson is one of the most interesting, not to say outstanding, voices of 20th century Scotland and his poetry, by its very nature, evokes much that is vital to Scottish and European history, society and culture. These are poems of lyrical intensity and gentle humour, of subtle irony and satirical intent, of profound humanity and, on occasion, of cold steel. Henderson writes with fire in his belly and love in his heart of war and peace, of the Highland, urban and desert landscapes, of the footslogging and swaddie and the resistance hero, of childhood memories and erotic encounters, of pain, love, regret and death. And hope. . But perhaps the underlying and unifying concern is faith: faith in ordinary humanity to pull through whatever the odds. Of the many outstanding 20th century poets Scotland has produced, it is perhaps Henderson, above all the others, who gives to that ordinary humanity in its quest for survival and for better days." The book is in very good condition. Gift inscription to top of the first page. …
