Overview
The premature death of Sydney Goodsir Smith at the age of fifty-nine deprived the world of one of the major personalities in twentieth-century British literature.
The poems included in this volume, mostly written in Scots dialect – from Skail Wind, first published in 1941, to the verse collections of his maturity and the gentle, philosophical compositions of his later years – show us the journey of a man who understood the world only too well, and are a testament to the inventive genius of his mind.
