Edinburgh: Macdonald, 1983. Dust jacket unclipped. No ownership marks. 112 pp. clean and tight. Alan Bold's first book of poems, Society Inebrious (1965), was printed by Macdonald who subsequently published Bold's second book, The Voyage (1966). Now Alan Bold has made for this book a selection of poems he has written over the past twenty years. It is a remarkably rich output ranging from incisive political poems like the well-known "June 1967 at Buchenwald" from A Perpetual Motion Machine (1969) to the more lyrical visions from Bold's last collection This Fine Day (1979). Also included are many new and uncollected poems, so this book will eloquently remind readers that in Alan Bold Scotland has an outstanding poet now at the height of his imaginative powers. Alan Bold was born in 1943 in Edinburgh where he attended university and trained as a journalist. Since 1966 he has been a fulltime writer and visual artist and since 1975 has lived in rural Fife writing books and contributing regular features to The Scotsman, TLS, Sunday Standard and Tribune. He has published many books of poetry including To Find the New and The State of the Nation as well as a selection in Penguin Modern Poets 15. He has edited The Penguin Book of Socialist Verse, The Martial Muse: Seven Centuries of War Poetry, the Cambridge Book of English Verse 1939-75, Making Love: The Picador Book of Erotic Verse, The Bawdy Beautiful: The Sphere Book of Improper Verse, Mounts of Venus: The Picador Book of Erotic Prose, Drink to Me Only: The Prose (and Cons) of Drinking. He has also written critical books on Thom Gunn & Ted Hughes, George Mackay Brown, The Ballad, Modern Scottish Literature and MacDiarmid: The Terrible Crystal. He has exhibited his Illuminated Poems (pictures combining an original poetic manuscript with an illustrative composition) in venues as varied as Boston University and the National Library of Scotland.
