Finishing the Picture

His life was devoted to poetry, but at the time of Ian Abbot's early death in 1989 he had published only one collection of poems. To the complete text of that first book, 'Avoiding the Gods', this new volume adds poems from the National Library of Scotland archives, and others published during his lifetime but uncollected into book form.

Viata sa era dedicata poeziei, dar la moartea timpurie a lui Ian Abbot, in 1989, a publicat o singura colectie de poezii. La textul complet al acelei prime carti, „Evitarea zeilor”, acest nou volum adauga poezii din arhivele Bibliotecii Nationale a Scotiei si altele publicate in timpul vietii sale, dar necolectate sub forma de carte.
