	Edwin Morgan
		The first book by Edwin Morgan that I purchased was the limited edition of Glasgow Sonnets from The Castlelaw Press in West Linton (1972), with its beautiful crimson coat, and its jolting provocations (as in: "A shilpit dog fucks grimly by the close").
		When Edwin Morgan read in the more than temperate surroundings of the Kibble Palace on his 80th birthday, a flbird (shades of the sparrow in the mead-hall in Bede) sang alongside, and you couldn't tell for sure whether it was inside the glasshouse or out in the Gardens.
		For me it confirmed that Edwin Morgan operates much of the time in an area of fertile uncertainty, where "the unknown is best" (as a stimulus to invention), and where the elements of song are somehow there in welcome support.

		As Morgan later comments, 'The Cape' 'was the most intense [poem] in that it came very existentially out of me, out of myself and out of my own life' (Morgan, 1990b, p.47).
		Apart from that Morgan describes his fascination with concrete poetry this way: 'I had always had an interest in (a) language and languages and (b) art and design, and perhaps I was bound to be attracted by a new kind of poetry which was strongly visual and used linguistic play' (p.1).
		In 'Glasgow 5 March 1971' (1972) for instance, Morgan describes the scene of a burglary: 'a young man and his girl' (3) have been pushed 'backwards into a shop-window' (4), and while the two victims are still trying to figure out what happens, the two burglars 'loot what they can smartly' (18).

	A Gull by Edwin Morgan - Poetry Archive
		A quick poet in many ways, Morgan is alive to the possibilities of life, and keen to celebrate them.
		The eponymous 'Strawberries', for example, begin a poem that goes on to rejoice in a love expressed in strawberry-flavoured kisses and the plate-cleansing thunderstorm; 'The Apple’s Song' is the call of a fruit that rejoices in the idea of being peeled and eaten.
		Morgan is also a fast reader, but it is this proof of his quickness that encourages attention and interest, and is always clear.
