Accent O the Mind : Poems Chiefly in the Scots Language

See all formats and editions

The joy, the pain, the fear, the anger and the shame - topical and contemporary, and mostly in vibrant Scots, this is Scottish poetry at its best.

Encompassing history, text messaging, politics, asylum-seeking hedgehogs and Buckfast, Rab Wilson covers the variety of modern Scottish life through refreshingly honest and often humorous poetry. "Accent O the Mind" follows on from Rab Wilson's groundbreaking translation into Scots of the Persian epic, "The Ruba'iyat of Omar Khayyam", with a Scots translation of Horace satires.

It also includes sonnets inspired by the Miners' Strike of 1984-85; poems he scribed as a Wigtown Bard; and the results of being twinned with his local MSP.

This inspirational new collection consolidates Rab Wilson's position as one of Scotland's leading poets and plays a part in the reinvigoration of the Scots language in modern Scottish society.
