About this product

Product Information

Hamish Henderson is one of the most interesting, not to say outstanding, voioces of 20th century Scotland and his poetry, by its very nature, evlokes 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 swaddie and the resistance hero, of childhood memories and erotic encounters, of pain, love, regret and death. And of 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 voice to that ordinary humanity in its quest for survival and for better days.
