Trust of the first Scottish poet laureate, Edwin Morgan. Supporting a biennial Poetry Award & workshops. Celebrating Morgan’s centenary in 2020.

DEADLINE NEXT WEEK!! Get your work selected by @colinjherd and published by @spec_books!! We are calling for responses to #edwinmorgan’s scrapbooks (which can be visited at @uofglasgowasc). These scrapbooks were made throughout Morgan’s life and provide a window to look in to the life and times of Edwin Morgan. The scrapbooks were a place where Morgan collected source material, pondered on local and global issues, as well as a space where he could reflect on his own sexuality during a time where it was a criminal offence to be gay. We want contemporary authors to reflect on the scrapbooks in their own way - and are thrilled to partner with @spec_books on this #edwinmorgan100 celebration.

Our #EdwinMorgan100 visuals draw from #edwinmorgan’s signature, with texture provided from his #scrapbook pages. The bold black, white and burnt orange colour scheme is a nod to early #typography and print. @maeve_redmond_ has done a great job delivering this design and we can’t wait to see it used throughout the centenary year!
