Cathures

This collection features poems reflecting Glasgow's life, both past and present, while exploring diverse themes through a sequence about a demon. It blends storytelling with social and philosophical insights, appealing to various audiences.

Edwin Morgan was appointed Poet Laureate of Glasgow in 1999, and many of these poems reflect the life of the city both now and in the past. But equally the poetry moves to other places and other worlds. A sequence of poems about a demon allows the mind to expatiate on a wide range of subjects, social, psychological, philosophical. Some of the poems have been set to music, both jazz and classical. In many ways it is a book of voices and observation, a book of accessible storytelling.
