The Edwin Morgan Twenties: Take Heart

★★★★★
★★★★★

English

By (author): Edwin Morgan

Introduced by Ali Smith, the title of this group of poems about people is taken from Morgans poem Pelagius, the theologian who is a kind of alter ego. Morgan has the ability to enter into so many lives: the blind hunchback of In the Snack-bar, Jesuss judge in Pilate at Fortingall, the Polish juggler and acrobat Cinquevalli (another alter ego), even Rameses II in The Mummy. Morgan, I said to myself, take note, / Take heart. In a time of confusion / You must make a stand.

He was awarded the Queens Gold Medal for Poetry in 2000. Ali Smith was born in Inverness in 1962. She studied at the University of Aberdeen and Newham College Cambridge. Her first book Free Love and Other Stories (1995) won the Saltire First Book of the Year award and a Scottish Arts Council Book Award. Her novel Autumn was shortlisted for the 2017 Man Booker.
