Description
Norman MacCaig was a prolific poet whose later work is widely accessible and admired. This study explores his poetry in its literary and social contexts, presenting his major emphases and substantial developments in his writing.
The book offers a vivid impression of the poet, with a sufficient number of poems quoted in their entirety to introduce readers unfamiliar with MacCaig's work. The discussion of issues and analysis of individual poems aims to enhance understanding and enjoyment for those already familiar with the poet's poetry.
The ambition of this study is not to overwhelm the poems with commentary, but rather to allow the intelligence, humour, and humaneness of the poems to speak directly to readers, potentially shocking, delighting, and challenging them in equal measure.
