Post-#WSGrahamCentenary piece confirms that, at opposite ends of these islands, from the 30s tae the 50s, Scottish poets from Graham tae MacDiarmid were living it up on delicious seagull egg omelettes, while waiting for the accolades to roll in mere decades eftir their deaths.
‘His instinct was… that the way to nurture his creativity was to have a really bad time’, says Seamus Perry of WS Graham. https://t.co/uHEaNggAn3
@CarolineBirdUK But presumably if you are as WSG is here quoting from ‘The Brus’ then you are The Brusing? #WithTheDulleGrietInCanada #WSGrahamCentenary
Also received thru post during the #MayDay poetry celebration period that is #NPF2019, this from @chireview, bringing the #WSGrahamCentenary to a suitably jockund crescendo:

Unexpected dispatch from WSG-land. Lovely.
...flings himself with a glad halloo or a gladiolus or a glass balloon into #TheBlueCrevasse. #WSGrahamCentenary
Thank ee kindly - talk out soon as @WSGraham100 says.
A splendid time was experienced by many - there was even fowk coming out of the Gang Show next door & saying ‘This “Crest of the Wave” malarkey is all very well, but what _is_ the language using us for?’

Excellent event last night with a fascinating talk by @billherbert (so much to take in, is it available in written form?) great readings & responses by all poets & promising young voices. Happy birthday WSG, I’m off to look over Loch Long, then coorie in with the New Selected.
Look at this great and uncollected poem of WS Graham’s about shaving (his brain). #twitterpoetryclub

Getcher nightfish here, lavverly fresh nightfish, just crossed the border between seems and hakeing, still making halos on Loch Dram. #WSGrahamCentenary
W.S Graham's birthday is fast approaching - what better way to celebrate than with a collection of letters written by the man himself to many literary figures? 'The Nightfisherman' is an essential for all Graham fans - get it here: https://t.co/2c3cZssaxD
Selections from thirty years of rude and playful WS Graham correspondence with his friend Ronnie Duncan in Yorkshire, exhibited alongside paintings by the St Ives School artists who inspired him and who he wrote about unforgettably: Bryan Wynter, Roger Hilton and Peter Lanyon.
@hogg_julie @jakecampbell88 WS Graham was of the opinion that the sea is a metaphor of (and not for) the sea. That's been doing my head for some time now. #WSGrahamCentenary
