A Home in Space

Reveals Edwin Morgan's groundbreaking multimedia poetics beyond his celebrated lyric voice.

Edwin Morgan is best remembered as Scotland's foremost national poet, a bold, lyric voice who shaped conversations around queerness, politics, and postwar life. But Morgan was also a restless experimenter working far beyond traditional verse. This book brings together, for the first time, the full range of his visual and sound poetry from vibrant poster poems and surrealist collages to concrete poetry, cut-ups, and poem-sculptures. It reveals Morgan as a major figure in twentieth-century multimedia art, linking language, image, and sound in surprising and timely ways. Attuned to questions of identity, ecology, and empire, Morgan's work remains as urgent and inventive as ever a celebration of poetic form at its most expansive and alive.
