William Soutar: Collected Works (Published Poetry) reintroduces one of Scotland’s most significant twentieth- century poets, a champion of Scots, pacifist visionary and forerunner of ecopoetics whose achievement has long been overlooked. This two-volume edition of his published poetry showcases his striking lyric gift in poems of love and community, war and mortality. Soutar was bed-bound by illness for the last fourteen years of his life. His work is testament to his creativity and resilience in the face of adversity. Volume 1 presents the poet's eleven published collections together for the first time since their original appearance, followed in Volume 2 by those poems that appeared in posthumous editions of his work. Featuring an introduction to his life and work, a Scots glossary, select bibliography, and notes on the critical reception of each collection, this is a landmark in literary publishing, while offering the general reader an accessible interaction with a remarkable poet.
