Omschrijving
A translation of the Ruba'iya't of Omar Kayyam but with a Scottish take, not only in language but also in tone and reference.
I found Robert Wilson's Omar Khayyam very readable. It will stand well in print in Scotland. - EDWIN MORGAN
The Rubaiyat of Omar… takes on a contemporary gloss in a rumbustious reworking in Scots of the literal text of the Persian poet. - THE HERALD
Working as a miner Robert Wilson heard a quote from The Ruba'iyat. Intrigued he read Edward Fitzgerald's version of the Ruba'iyat and there began a passion. Born in New Cumnock, Ayrshire in 1961, Rab Wilson is a Scots poet who has performed his work to varied audiences throughout Scotland. Now working as a psychiatric nurse, Edwin Morgan describes his poetry as a 'new voice' for Scotland.
