Talk
Corey Gibson at Celtic Connections
Corey Gibson is Lecturer in Twentieth-Century Scottish Literature at the University of Glasgow. He is the author of The Voice of the People: Hamish Henderson and Scottish Cultural Politics (Edinburgh University Press, 2015) and the editor of Hamish Henderson: Collected Poems (Birlinn, 2019). His writing and research is focused on the radical literary imagination in Scotland.
Published in November 2019 to coincide with Hamish Henderson’s centenary year, Hamish Henderson: Collected Poems is the first collections of his poems since 2000, and the first such collection carried by a major Scottish publishing house. It features several previously unpublished pieces, and it is faithful to Henderson’s commitment to what he called ‘the carrying stream’ of the oral folk tradition.
