"There are words" is the long-awaited summary of Scottish poet Gael
Turnbull's poetic career. A major figure in post-war British verse,
Gael Turnbull (1928-2004) was at the centre of a nexus of
Anglo-American poetic activity in the 1950s and 1960s, occasioned
by the fact that he was one of the few poets who actually moved to
and fro across the Atlantic in those years, and by his stewardship
of the pioneering small press, Migrant. After his return to the UK
in the early 1960s, he worked as a general practitioner and
anaesthetist until his retirement. His own work covered an enormous
range, from modernist experiment to performance work, from visual
material meant for public display to short amusing ballads. A true
original, the scale of his achievement has been obscured until now
by the fact that his major books have long been out of print and
that a good deal of his work appeared in limited editions from
small presses.
