Description
Gairm, 1994.46 pages.
As is evident in this collection, Myles Campbell is aware of the division between community poetry and personal poetry. The two have always co-existed, but there never used to be such a gap between them. The first type usually reinforces feelings already existent in the community, whereas the second type is more secretive and personal and seperate from the community at large, emerging from the writer's own values and beliefs. This conflict is evident in the artistic world and indeed in this book – a conflict between tradition/community on one hand and personal views on the other.
