Roddy Lumsden was one of Britain's liveliest and most inventive
poets of recent times. From the formal, frenetic debut Yeah Yeah
Yeah, through the playful wit and cynicism of The Book of Love, to
the 'magnificent song to himself' of Roddy Lumsden is Dead, this
retrospective of his earlier work shows how his poetic journey was
eventful, fuelled by his fascination with the intrigues of men and
women and the short steps from real life to folklore to the
surreal. Mischief Night brought together the best work from Roddy
Lumsden's three previous collections, as well as a whole new
collection, The Drowning Man. It also contains poems from his
pamphlet The Bubble Bride and the previously uncollected sonnet
sequence Cavoli Riscaldati. It was followed by four later
collections. Poetry Book Society Special Commendation.
