Robert Crawford

Opis

In his seventh full-length collection of poems, Robert Burns scholar Robert Crawford writes of love, loss, belief, and commitment

Whether in intimate erotic lyrics or in a sustained engagement with the politics of Scottish independence Robert Crawfordwrites with passion, wit, and assurance about struggles to pass on values and treasures. The book opens with a sequence of love poems, and closes with "Testament," a startlingly fresh gathering of deftly rhymed paraphrases based on the New Testament. Whether making versions of Cavafy or elegising fellow poet Mick Imlah, or writing how a father hands on a piece of marble to his son, Robert Crawford shows how poetry can communicate from generation to generation aspects of what makes us most vulnerably and engagingly human."
