Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Born on the island ofYell in Shetland just at the end of the First World War, William Tait's lifespanned the twentieth century.His passion for the lifeof words led him to enter the teaching profession in Lerwick after student lifeaway in Edinburgh. This passion never abated, and found its main expression inpoetry. Progressing to Englandand Scotland as his teaching career blossomed, his poetry began to attractattention. His first works were published in the Spectator in 1945, andover the next 35 years a steady stream of extraordinarily varied and powerfulpieces graced the pages of noted journals and anthologies.Finally, in 1980, thisbook, collecting together all the work which had gained him a reputation for versatilityand brilliance, was published. A Day BetweenWeathers sorts Tait's collectedpoems written between 1938 and 1978 into three thematic groupings; the first amiscellany, the second amatory, and the third poems of war. But it alsoexhibits another key triad of Tait's expertise - he is equally eloquent inEnglish, Scots and Shetlandic. This fluency accords A Day Between Weathersa permanent place in the literature of Shetland, and in the wider world whichit embraces.
