David Kinloch is one of the notable Scottish poets of his generation. Edwin Morgan admired his ' sparkling poems full of sensuous richness and linguistic inventiveness' ; and Douglas Messerli declared, ' David Kinloch is surely one of the most innovative poets ever to come out of Scotland. . . [his] readers must be prepared to take a long voyage through language, imagination, and space. While it isn' t always easy, it' s always worth the trip. ' This is his fifth Carcanet collection. It includes a distillation of his earlier work, and new poems that delight and challenge. Morgan praised his success in the ' impossible genre' , the prose poem, his elegies, his flytings. He has been an activist as well as a poet, helping to set up The Edwin Morgan Trust and the first Scottish Writers' Centre.
David Kinloch is from Glasgow where he grew up and was educated. He is the author of six collections of poetry, most published by Carcanet Press, the latest being In Search of Dustie-Fute (2017) which was shortlisted for the Saltire Prize. He has degrees in French and English from the Universities of Glasgow and Oxford and spent much of his working life as a teacher of French at university level. In 2003, he changed course to focus on the teaching of creative writing and after retiring in 2019 is now Emeritus Professor of Poetry and Creative Writing at the University of Strathclyde. In 2022 he received a Cholmondeley Award in recognition of his work to date.
