The many realities of Edwin Morgan
Article Abstract:
It is very satisfying to give a voice to others, particularly those who are neglected and despised, according to poet Edwin Morgan. He has worked extremely hard to promote Scottish literature, and has given little attention to his own reputation. He is constantly moving to new styles, and feels that he has an ability to always renew himself. He is happy to give out poems free to very small literary journals, and does not indulge himself very often.

The egg and the sperm race
Article Abstract:
Poetry is a form of exploring art, according to Edwin Morgan, who is happy not to be a mainstream poet. He points to a general reluctance to experiment among contemporary poets in England, although Scottish poets have been much more willing to innovate. He has a strong Scottish background, and has written some poems in Scots. He has recently been working for Radio 4 on an epic poem entitled 'The Voyage,' which recounts the miracle of conception.

Glyn Maxwell is one of poetry's rising stars. Now he wants to be taken seriously as a dramatist. What's he playing at?
Article Abstract:
Glyn Maxwell has gained considerable respect as a poet, but now wants to establish a similar reputation as a dramatist. Moving from poetry to the theatre is generally regarded as a very difficult thing to do, and poor results have made producers unwilling to commission original verse drama. His play, entitled 'The Heart in Hiding,' will open soon and will show whether he has been able to devise an acceptable form of poetic drama.
