The Drawings of Sydney Goodsir Smith, Poet


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.

Collected Poems


Book Description

The premature death of Sydney Goodsir Smith at the age of fifty-nine, while this volume of his 'Collected Poems' was in production, deprived the world of one of the major personalities in twentieth-century British literature. The poems included in this volume, mostly written in Scots dialect – from 'Skail Wind', first published in 1941, to the moving poems of his maturity and the gentle, philosophical poems of his later years – show us the journey of a man who understood the world only too well.
