Containing poems written by Edwin Morgan during the past six years, this collection looks at human life from a variety of perspectives, encompassing a range of themes, the foremost of which is history. This new work displays the author's characteristic willingness to experiment with a variety of subjects, from the history of cancer to the new Scottish parliament.

This collection of lyric epiphanies reveals the focus and refocus of sequences, the wily relocation of words in concrete poems, and the weird rhythms of sound poems. The poet's transforming imagination is democratic, generous, and inclusive. Even the sonnet form becomes a new experiment for a poet of questing and anarchic vision, unwilling to rest on rules. This volume includes Poems of Thirty Years, Themes on a Variation, and some 50 uncollected poems from 1939 to 1982.

Flatland (1884) is a mathematico-philosophical satire narrated by A. Square, an inhabitant of a two‑dimensional world whose rigid social order maps neatly onto Victorian hierarchies. Through visits to Lineland and an irruption of Spaceland, Abbott fuses Euclidean exposition, parable, and speculative fiction to probe perception, orthodoxy, and the limits of inductive reason. The prose oscillates between pedagogical clarity—complete with geometric taxonomies and diagrams—and allegorical wit,...
