This work features a vibrant selection of the best Scottish love
poems, with each poet limited to one poem with the exception of
Burns himself, that spans centuries and feelings of affection and
desire. Through these poems many different kinds of love are
explored whether it is sexual, passionate, romantic, or parental.
In 100 Favourite Scottish Love Poems traditional Scottish verse
mixes with great literature as Bonny Barbara Allan and Jock o'
Hazeldean rub shoulders with Byron and Hogg. Modern Scottish
writing, from some of the most inspiring poets of our time,
MacCaig, MacDiarmid, Morgan and Carol Ann Duffy contrasts with
Gaelic poetry by Sorley MacLean, Derick Thomson and Meg Bateman.
Poems of first love, yearning for love, love in absence and epernal
love are not grouped thematically, as in so many other anthologies,
but seamlessly so that contrasting poems can strike sparks off one
another, across the page - often with wit and jollity - to
demonstrate that we experience love in individqal and inspiring
ways.
