	ScotLit: The Contribution of Iain Crichton Smith
		Smith is quite different, in that he very early became fascinated with English and American poets and evidently felt impelled to challenge them, with a sort of determination not to let the fact of his using a second language, an imposed, non-native language stand in his way.
		It is of course typical of Smith that he uses the everyday object of the TV to plunge at once into questions of what is really real.
		Smith has always downgraded the form and technical aspects of verse, relying heavily on the accidents of inspiration and spontaneity and speed to carry him through.
