Beyond the Last Dragon: A Life of Edwin Morgan (Non-Fiction)
Seller: CHARLES BOSSOM, Ely, CAMBS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Dust jacket complete, unclipped. Original cloth boards with bright gilt titling on spine. Previous owner's inscription on half title. Photographs on plates. 420 pages clean and tight. Dimensions: 15.7 x 4.1 x 23.6 cm. EDWIN MORGAN'S restless imagination moved easily between multiple worlds, voices and identities. His own life story, told here for the first time, also reveals a range of identities - as academic, cultural activist, radical writer, international traveller, gay man and national poet. These identities were sometimes in conflict, or kept hidden and apart. Beyond the Last Dragon, written with his full support, explores hitherto unknown archive resources and creative work. It recounts an amazing and sometimes troubled career, using the poet's own letters, poems and plays from the 1930s to the present day to uncover the often local origins of his still remarkable - at 90 years - inventiveness and flair. All this is set against Edwin Morgan's moving struggle against 'the last dragon' of cancer, and to remain creatively alive in the face of suffering. Size: 8vo. Seller Inventory # 142782
