The Oxford Book of Scottish Verse by John Macqueen
This anthology spans seven centuries of Scottish verse with poems by all the major Scottish poets including William Dunbar, Robert Burns, Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson, Edwin Muir, Hugh MacDiarmid, Kathleen Raine, Norman MacCaig and George MacKay Brown. The editors have lain greater emphasis on verse written in Scots rather than English, and have devoted generous space to the much neglected poetry of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. This is the only anthology of Scottish verse to cover such a wide time-span and is reissued in paperback in response to great popular demand.
includes much more of the best Scottish poetry than any other anthology of Scottish verse which has been published" The Scotsman a rich and extraordinarily useful book" Times Literary Supplement
In the summer of 1971, at age of 18, Tom Scott volunteered to be drafted into the U.S. Army. That was how he became a Vietnam veteran. After serving in Vietnam, Scott was sent to Fort Rucker, Alabama, and later, Frankfurt, Germany, serving as a Military Policeman during both assignments. After being honorably discharged in 1975, he returned home to Florida, went back to school under the G.I. Bill, graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Criminal Justice, and a beautiful fiance'. Soon after graduation from college, Scott was hired by the U.S. Customs Service, which was then part of the U.S. Treasury Department. He quickly married his college sweetheart, and was soon doing what he most wanted to do; loving a good woman, and serving his country. In 2008, Scott retired from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection as a Senior Officer. He lives with his wife in Florida, has one son, one daughter of the heart who lives in Sweden, three grandchildren, and a cat named Caroline.
