Description

The Fusslin Thrang gathers together Alexander Hutchison’s poems in Scots written between 1973 and 2015, with the majority being previously uncollected or unpublished. Included are a wide range of translations, featuring poets such as Catullus, Pierre de Ronsard, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Ernesto Cardenal, and Mikhail Lermontov. Of particular note is Hutchison’s Scots version of ‘Medea’, based on the extract in English by Robinson Jeffers, and published here for the first time. Every poem includes a glossary and contextual notes.
