Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edwin Morgan is Scotland's major living poet, and Inventions of Modernity is the first book-length study of his work. Since the 1940s Morgan's poetry has been carving out an alternative to the conventional evolutions from Modernism to Postmodernism, creating instead a substantial body ofwriting that ranges from the sublime to the hilarious. Morgan develops radical and libertarian poetics in an encyclopaedia of forms; from Anglo-Saxon meter through sonnet-sequences to concrete poems, and including gay poetry, science fiction verse, and prize-winning translations into both Englishand Scots from numerous languages.
