Book Description
Sidney Goodsir Smith has still to achieve full recognition as the inventive, witty and rumbustious poet and writer he was. He is best known for his poetry in Scots, for tenderly sensual love lyrics, and his play The Wallace, precursor perhaps to Braveheart - and more historically accurate. He is a poet of his beloved city, Edinburgh, celebrating its unique atmosphere and vitality as well as its more seamy undersides with characteristic humanity and rollicking humour.
