The selection, through which Saunders Crombie aimed to present "the cream of Hugh MacDiarmid's poetry while exemplifying the varied nature of his work," includes one poem that first appeared in The Modern Scot, 'Harry Semen' (see ref. 2444) Helen Burness Cruickshank (1886-1975) was another Angus-born poet with links to the Scottish Renaissance (see also item 5). Having submitted poems to Christopher Grieve's new anthology, Northern Numbers, the two poets became lifelong friends, as well working together for Scottish PEN; Cruickshank began as Honorary Secretary, but later took over the helm from Grieve. Indeed, Cruickshank's Edinburgh home, Dinnieduff, became a centre of Scottish literary activity and society during this period, which Cruickshank later referred to as a watershed time in her life. She was also a founding member of the Saltire Society.
