This would be the hardest to get hold of of the whole beautiful pocketbooks series, wouldn't it? It really is a delightful collection of little poems from a wide range of poets, mostly alive and Scottish based (naming no names, hem hem) and some dead (Walter Scott the haiku writer, who'd have thought it?).
This is the poetry book I want to give as a present to people who claim they don't do poetry. And one that I keep going back to for gentle gems of inspiration.
Listmania!
