MacDiarmid, Hugh Selected Poetry
New Directions Publishing Co September, 1993 0-8112-1248-3 / 9780811212489 Hardcover VF/VF
MacDiarmid, one of various pseudonyms adopted by the prolific Scottish writ er and editor Christopher Murray Grieve (1892-1978), wanted "A poetry wilde r than a heifer / You have to milk into a gourd." But the Scottish national ist, Marxist and modernist also wanted more, as this collection of his work intelligently demonstrates. The collective impression of the poetry is cha llenging, thorny, didactic, disconcerting--an enigmatic wake left behind by a writer of many contradictions. Not all are welcoming. MacDiarmid wrote i n two languages: a prose- like declarative mode broken into lines and stanz as, and his own almost impassable distillation and reformation of Scots idi om, filled with archaisms. A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle (1926), conside red his most important work and reprinted here in its entirety, is an examp le of the second, mingling erudition and viscerally physical language with a forbidding ambition; on the other hand, a poem like "The Glass of Pure Wa ter" sounds a forthrightly discursive call to "the Celt" to "overcome the w hole world of wrong." MacDiarmid's work demands study, yet the rewards of a reader's effort may come slowly.
