There are extracts from other sources, including Neilson's own autobiographical sketches, a compendium of critical responses during his lifetime, a generous who's who of people appearing in the correspondence, photographs and images, and an introduction that focuses sensitively on sources and influences on the poetry.
The story inspired a ballad that Neilson worried about publishing: 'The main trouble is that many people would misunderstand this and think that I am a red-ragger.' He had strong political views, but was reticent about them, as about other things we nowadays want to know: sex, transgression and insanity.
Neilson's own hard roving was the shell that protected the delicate truth of his art.
