A compact disc in an insert in the rear dust jacket has interviews, poetry readings and sound poetry by various poets.Peter Manson's review: This exciting and compendious anthology collects an unprecedented variety of poems written by Scots from the Renaissance to the present day, though the great bulk of its contents was written in the last 40 years. Its remit is wide but definable: the poems all, in one way or another, place the emphasis on poetry as a pattern made from the various material aspects of language: language as sound, as letters carved or arranged on a page, as words or phrases to be varied or permuted.

Scope and Contents British Library: "Bob Cobbing (1920"“2002) was a British sound, visual, concrete, and performance poet; a central member of the British Poetry Revival; and an influence on generations of artists, sound experimenters, educators, poets, and printmakers.

In a career marked by the emergence of the 1960s counterculture and the thrilling potential for sound-based performance poetics, the work of Bob Cobbing stands alone as an instrument at play for the human voice; a testament to the core interdisciplinarity between writings for print and sound; and the strangely verbal...
