About This Item
Edinburgh: Canongate Publishing, 1982. pp 219 Paperback, first thus, poems selected by Australian poet Les A Murray from his earlier collections entitled The Ilex Tree, The Weatherboard Cathedral, Poems Against Economics, Lunch & Counter Lunch and Ethnic Radio. Very good, covers lightly scuffed and spine sunned, the pages are bright with no marks or ownership inscription. Provenance: from the recent Glasgow dispersal sale of Alasdair Gray's library. Gray (1934-2019) is acknowledged as one of the most innovative figures in Scottish literature and culture. Painter, novelist, playwright, poet and editor, Gray frequently combined his diverse artistic talents within single works to challenge existing forms. He has been described as 'Blending satire and tragedy, realism and fantasy, his work has been credited with spurring a renaissance in Scottish literature.'
