Dream State: The New Scottish PoetsDonny O'Rourke Since its publication in 1994, "Dream State" has come to be regarded not just as an indispensable sampling of recent Scottish poetry, but as a major contribution to the idea of Scotland as a sophisticated, plural, and exciting source of cultural possibilities. This new edition of "Dream State" has been completely revised, updated, and expanded to take account of new work by the existing contributors and to usher in thrilling new talents. |
