Carcanet Press is our most courageous publisher. When you look at what they have brought out since their beginnings, it makes so many other houses seem timid or merely predictable.

Imprint: Carcanet Poetry Edition: 2nd Publisher: Carcanet Press Available as: Paperback 2e (800 pages) (Pub. Jan 2017) 9781784105198 £30.00 £27.00
The first volume of this two-volume edition of MacDiarmid's Complete Poems reprints the texts of the Penguin edition (1986), which was based on the first edition of 1978, which MacDiarmid himself saw through the press. Additional poems discovered since the first edition of 1978 are included, and the additional text revised. MacDiarmid insisted that his Complete Poems should be books of poetry, uncluttered by editorial annotations and notes. Michael Grieve, the poet's son, and W. R. Aitken, his bibliographer, have carefully followed his instructions, and compiled an extensive glossary based on the earlier collections.
Praise for Hugh MacDiarmid
'Watch him, an angel's set his tongue on fire.'
Norman MacCaig 'Lord God, this fellow is a poet, singing a song even when pain seizes him, or the woe of the world murmurs in his heart' Sean O'Casey 'Every door in any town should be wide open to that great lyric poet Hugh MacDiarmid.' Dylan Thomas 'These great people like MacDiarmid are a bit scary, ' Liz Lochhead 'Riach has done Scottish literature a great service in masterminding the Carcanet edition of the works of Hugh MacDiarmid...'
