Edward Larrissey (Cambridge University Press, 2016) After the Second World War, poetry in Scotland required regeneration. The Scottish Renaissance of the 1920s and 1930s had been a major force of revitalisation, led by Hugh MacDiarmid (C.M. Grieve, 1892-1978), aligning poetry, literature and all the arts in Scotland with renewed political ambition for an independent nation. After the war, MacDiarmid was still a major force among the new generation of poets, but the younger men and women would not follow his lead in any direct sense, and in any case, MacDiarmid had nothing but disdain for disciples. The prevailing imperative among the major poets who began publishing in the late 1940s, 1950s and 1960s was not one of nationalism but of individual voice, language and, crucially, location. Each had their own favoured terrain in different parts of Scotland, a geography of the imagination that made singular use of co-ordinate points drawn from their places of birth or upbringing, their societies and languages. -

Contemporary Poetry (1950–) Attila Dósa and Michelle Macleod
CHAPTER NINE Contemporary Poetry (1950–) Attila Dósa and Michelle Macleod While Scottish Modernism has been described as ‘inter-national’ in the previous chapter, a progressively self-confdent transnationalism alongside a self-refexive hybridisation of the speech forms and cultures of home has characterised poetry since the war. Dialogic engagement with diferent literatures and languages within and outwith Scotland identifes a number of poets from Edwin Morgan to Kathleen Jamie, whose works investigate man as both a socially determined individual and a spiritual being independent of political borders: Matt McGuire and Colin Nicholson, in fact, refer to a sense of freedom in contemporary Scottish poetry.1 The literary and linguistic intersections can be traced out with the help of Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of a ‘minor literature’ – ‘not the literature of a minor language but the literature a minority makes in a major language’ 2 – which, striving to fnd a voice in an idiom at once familiar and strange, operates in the twofold paradigm of deterritorial- isation and political commitment in order to construct a literature that holds collective value. The second wave of the Scottish Renaissance is barely more than a label of convenience, which embraces a clutch of divergent talents coming into maturity in the 1950s. This includes Norman MacCaig (1910–1996), whose Riding Lights (1955) presents philosophical contem- plations of lucid and compact images from North-West Highland farm life, as in ‘Summer Farm’: ‘I lie, not thinking, in the cool, sof grass, / Afraid of where a thought might take me’. Looking back, the closest equivalent to these metaphysical poems may be found in William Drummond’s medieval Scots poems, though neither is their strange negativity too far from Edwin Muir’s near-contemporary existentialist mind-set. -

Some Reflections on the Poetry of Skye Aonghas Macneacail
Some Reflections on the Poetry of Skye Aonghas MacNeacail APART from a couple of not altogether successful attempts at writing novels in the early twentieth century by Angus Robertson and the Rev. Neil Ross, and the writings, in both fiction and non-fiction of the Rev Kenneth MacLeod, Skye has not really been explored in prose by Gaelic writers. Exceptions are the fictions of Eilidh Watt and Maoilios Caimbeul (the latter more readily identified as a poet), and the journalism of Martin MacDonald. The one native Skye prose writer of international repute, Martin Martin, left nothing, as far as we know, in the language which must surely have been his first. Alternatively, writers like Seton Gordon, who settled on the island, Derek Cooper, who was of Skye descent, Alan Campbell MacLean, and Margaret MacPherson, and poets like Richard Hugo and Hugh MacDairmid, have all contributed to placing the island firmly on the literary map, but in English. To get a Gaelic literary perspective on Skye, therefore, we have to look to the poets. Of these there is no shortage and this is true of the world of Gaelic generally. While there is an ancient tradition of storytelling, the stories, being of anonymous authorship, often taking on local details and characteristics, may be said to belong to the entire community, and will frequently have international provenance. The poetry is where we are most likely to find the individual creative voice articulating a specific perception of its environment - actual, historical or imagined. In Skye, as elsewhere in Gaeldom, poetry may be seen to divide into two basic strands. -
