The 1920s

Poets' Pub is part of the multi-media essay 'Access to Scottish Poetry'. The essay offers an introduction to 20th century Scottish poetry through the eight poets represented in the painting Poets' Pub (1980) by Alexander Moffat.  

Each of the eight poets is linked with a decade, from the 1920s to the 1990s.  A collection by the poet from that decade is considered in detail.
