25 poems on the theme of trees, most written specifically for this anthology by poets living in Scotland. A slim booklet in glossy brown wrappers, within illustrated card wrappers, the text is printed on brown paper. A near fine copy, wrappers sunned but clean, gift inscription to Scottish author Alasdair Gray. Provenance: from the recent Glasgow dispersal sale of Alasdair Gray's library. Gray (1934-2019) is acknowledged as one of the most innovative figures in Scottish literature and culture. Painter, novelist, playwright, poet and editor, Gray frequently combined his diverse artistic talents within single works to challenge existing forms. He has been described as 'Blending satire and tragedy, realism and fantasy, his work has been credited with spurring a renaissance in Scottish literature.'
