Books, Manuscripts
People turn to poetry as a way of understanding how language and people interact; it is a worthy expression of emotion, deep feelings, and aesthetics, it is a sense of what is beautiful about the world. People often seek out poetry when they want to find a way to express their feelings. In 'Scotland's Best Loved Poems,' Alexander McCall Smith delves into Scotland's contemporary canon and handpicks those gems, those poems that people turn to again and again. This is a collection of poems that people feel they ought to have read but perhaps haven't yet. It is a highly accessible book for those that love poetry, and for those that would like to explore poetry's rich tapestry of meter, rhymes and rhythms.
