Morgan has the ability to enter into so many lives: the blind hunchback of ‘In the Snack-bar’, Jesus’s judge in ‘Pilate at Fortingall’, the Polish juggler and acrobat ‘Cinquevalli’ (another alter ego), even Rameses II in ‘The Mummy’. ‘Morgan, I said to myself, take note, / Take heart. In a time of confusion / You must make a stand.’ ISBN: 9781846975455 Publication date: 02/04/2020 Format: Paperback Publisher: Birlinn Ltd Stock status: Published Categories: Birlinn/Polygon , Poetry
