Synopsis
"In "Scottish Poems" John Rice takes us on an exhilarating whistle-stop tour, the poets of his choice a refreshing and stimulating mix of the familiar and the unexpected. The vitality and diversity of their voices (English, Scots and Gaelic, from the Borders to Shetland and the Western Isles) reflect that of the land they live in, and whet the appetite for more." - Stewart Conn, poet and playwright. "My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here; My heart's in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer; A-chasing the wild-deer and following the roe, My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go." - Robert Burns.
Review
A fabulous group of wonderful Scottish Poetry. This collection chosen by John Rice are very readeable and some are real old favorites.
I enjoy poetry and this collection covers quite a few of my favorite Scottish poets, Robert Louis Stevenson, Edwin Muir, Sir Walter Scott and Robert Burns.
This collection is great because it is small enough to fit in a pocket or a handbag when your out walking the hills or just sitting in a quiet place.
Fantastic collection, well chosen and beautifully packaged.
