Praise for Hugh MacDiarmid
'Watch him, an angel's set his tongue on fire.'
Norman MacCaig 'Lord God, this fellow is a poet, singing a song even when pain seizes him, or the woe of the world murmurs in his heart' Sean O'Casey 'Every door in any town should be wide open to that great lyric poet Hugh MacDiarmid.' Dylan Thomas 'These great people like MacDiarmid are a bit scary, ' Liz Lochhead 'Riach has done Scottish literature a great service in masterminding the Carcanet edition of the works of Hugh MacDiarmid...'
