POETRY TEXTS & ANTHOLOGIES. This work features a vibrant selection of the best Scottish love poems, with each poet limited to one poem with the exception of Burns himself, that spans centuries and feelings of affection and desire. Through these poems many different kinds of love are explored whether it is sexual, passionate, romantic, or parental. In "100 Favourite Scottish Love Poems" traditional Scottish verse mixes with great literature. Poems of first love, yearning for love, love in absence and eternal love are not grouped thematically, as in so many other anthologies, but seamlessly so that contrasting poems can strike sparks off one another.

Download 100 Favourite Scottish Football Poems Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This is the first collection of Scots poetry devoted entirely to football. It includes many of 20th century Scotland's best known poets, from Hugh MacDiarmid to Norman MacCaig, Iain Crichton Smith to Jackie Kay. Ranging from the historic aspect, in the 1580 poem, The Bewteis of the Fute-ball, or Stewart Conn's The Barber-Surgeons to King James IV, to the gleeful thrilling violence of a good kicking, as in Song of the Sub-Welshian, to the unending frustration of supporting Scotland, this brilliant collection sums up the best and the worst of football spirit.
