The MacDiarmid Memorandum - Poems by Alan Riach, Paintings by Alexander Moffat and Ruth Nichol

Alan Riach's The MacDiarmid Memorandum is a work of epic, category-defying scope; a work that blends biography and national history, poetry and prose. This is as much a work on MacDiarmid (man, poet, and myth), as it is a study into a peculiarly Scottish kind of consciousness.
