The most renowned and beloved poets--Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson, Hugh MacDiarmid, and Muriel Spark among them--mingle with their lesser-known but equally distinctive compatriots, including many of those who have emerged from the recent Scottish poetry renaissance. The poems are organized by theme: from matters of the heart to subjects spiritual and philosophical to the poetry of place. All of the verse is marked by a characteristic energy, wit, satire, and passionate lyrical intensity, and all demonstrates the power of art that proudly emanates from, but is never limited by, the place of its birth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGerard Carruthers \u003c\/b\u003eis the editor of the Everyman's Library Pocket Poets anthology \u003ci\u003eRobert Burns.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Everyman's Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50410077651218,"sku":"9780307269713","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_1da3e49c-a22b-492f-9a85-9a33d3114d96.jpg?v=1729301124","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/scottish-poems-9780307269713","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
