Getting Higher: the Complete Mountain Poems

Rory Watson

James Hutcheson

Alongside the mountain poems from Men on Ice, Order of the Day and Western Swing will be brand new material, facsimiles of previously unpublished material – including his first poem, written in 1972 – and illustrations and material from the National Library of Scotland archive. A beautiful collector’s item full of illustrations, marginalia and notes.

Reviews of Getting Higher: the Complete Mountain Poems

'Andrew Greig is a Scottish poet of sensitivity and resilience. He deals with high-risk situations – from mountaineering to love – and is particularly good at presenting the gamut of feelings involved in rites of passage: high endeavour, commitment, holding back, drift, release' – Edwin Morgan 'A writer of integrity and imaginative energy.' – TLS 'A lyric poet of rare gusto' – The Observer
