“The idea of a ‘vanguard’ in literature has never had much acceptance in this country, though it’s a commonplace on the Continent. The English Channel is a pretty narrow strip of water, but it’s remarkable what an effective barrier it has been to the passage of ideas.”
—Edwin Morgan, in his 1968 essay “Concrete Poetry” – published in In Touch With Language: A New Prose Collection 1950–2005 (ASL, 2020)

“This poem was written when my father was very ill, dying of cancer, & I was coming home from the hospital. Suddenly this line ‘I am the resurrection & the life’ came into my head & then the poem began to emerge from the line.”
—Edwin Morgan on “Message Clear”

Posted a few pics of the Derek Beaulieu Catalogue Saisonee from Paper View. Picked it up a good few years ago and finally got around to adding to the blog. It's a wonderfully tactile object.
