Description

Published for the first time in 1972, this verse collection reveals lesser-known facets of the novelist Alexander Trocchi’s writing.

The poems included span a long period of time, and range from the lyricism of his early love poetry and reflections on his involvement in drug culture to the penetrating comments on contemporary figures and events of his later pieces.

Trocchi’s language is strong, rich and frankly obscene, and his arguments are both witty and profound. Featuring an introduction by William S. Burroughs and a new preface by John Calder, Man at Leisure forms a notable addition to the published work of one of the finest Scottish writers of the twentieth century.
