Edwin Morgan
Edwin Morgan (1920-2010) was a noted Scottish poet and translator. He was the first poet laureate of Glasgow and the first "makar" or Scottish national poet. He produced influential translations of various Old English poems, most notably Beowulf, "The Ruin", and "The Wanderer". His alliterative poem "Spacepoem 3: Off Course" appears in Dennis Wise's critical anthology of modern alliterative verse. It was originally published in Frontier Going: An Anthology of Space Poetry.
