Norman MaccaigVezi magazinul Libris'Two Men at Once' is one of Norman MacCaig best known poems.
He was indeed two men at once: Edinburgh, the city where he was born and lived as a teacher and poet, was his home, but no other place shaped his poetry more than Assynt in Sutherland.
It is here that he would spend many a summer on family holidays, walking the hills and fishing the lochs.
MacCaig's fresh eye saw remarkable newness even in the everyday and each poem is a tiny revelation, a new look at an old friend.
This collection celebrates, renews, and rediscovers Norman MacCaig's Assynt.
