Love Poem, by Douglas Dunn

The Verb this week is another chance to hear Ian McMillan's interview with the great Scottish poet Douglas Dunn, in front of our Poetry Book Club audience. Douglas Dunn is the author of over ten poetry collections. He published his debut in 1969, whilst working in the Brynmor Jones Library at Hull under Philip Larkin. The book, Terry Street, won the Somerset Maugham Award. Since then Douglas has continued to write poems that shine a light on the human condition - on our foibles, our desires, our fragility. His 2019 collection, The Noise of a Fly, was shortlisted for the TS Eliot award. Among other awards he received the Whitbread Book of the Year in 1985 for Elegies, a moving account of his wife's early death from cancer. Dunn was awarded the OBE in 2003 and is an Honorary Professor at St Andrews. Presenter: Ian McMillanProducer: Cecile Wright

MSP 65: Douglas Dunn

In this interview I met with Douglas Dunn, who spoke candidly about the experience of growing old as a writer; discussed teaching and playwriting as ways for a poet to make ends meet; and reminisced about the publication of his first book Terry Street, and Phillip Larkin's role in getting it published. Dunn reads two of his new poems: 'The Teacher's Notes' at 10m02s, and 'Thursday' at 24m10s. Apologies for the poor sound quality at points.

Douglas Dunn - December's Door

Librarian by training, poet by vocation, Professor Dunn’s many achievements in poetry include the Somerset-Maugham Award winning Terry Street, Love or Nothing and the acclaimed Elegies. Reading from poems new and old, with some classic West Port accompaniment from builders outside and the odd fire engine, join Douglas as he entertains a crowded Edinburgh Books. Incidental music is the track "Trouble Scene" from MWD, http://www.budabeats.com/bube007.htm
