BOOK RELEASE – ‘Freddy Anderson: Collected Poems & Prose’ (Hog’s Back Press an Imprint of Rymour Books, 2020). Freddy Anderson (1922 – 2001) born in Ballybay, County Monaghan, Ireland, came to Glasgow after the war. He was a well-known figure in the city and amongst the Scottish Literary scene. This is the first collected edition of his works including his poems; the novel, ‘Oiney Hoy,’ and the award-winning play about John Maclean, ‘Krassivy.’
Hamish Henderson said of Anderson, “…he belongs to a long line of courageous radical poets whose most famous members include Byron and Burns not forgetting Woody Guthrie [and] in this long rebellious line Freddie has earned an honourable place.”
