Collected Poems

To catch “in full sight” is Edwin Morgan’s ambition. That fullness he achieves in lyric epiphanies, in the cumulative focuses and refocuses of sequences, in the reification of words in concrete poems, in the rhythms of sound poems. He hears and transcribes voices. Even the sonnet form remains an experiment for the poet questing for vision and unwilling to rest on rules. This volume includes Edwin Morgan’s “Poems of Thirty Years” (1982) and “Themes on a Variation” (1988), together with some 50 uncollected poems from 1939 to 1982.
