Dream State

Since its publication in 1994, Dream State: The New Scottish Poets has come to be regarded not just as an indispensable sampling of recent Scottish poetry, but as a major contribution to the idea of Scotland as a sophisticated, plural and exciting source of cultural possibilities. The anthology presents a vibrant range of poems -­ from clear-headed political satire to erotic verse -­ all exhibiting a striking mixture of lexical brio, sophistication and directness.
