Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Poems From John O'groat's
Of late years a new school of poetry - a complete antithesis of the old - has sprung up, of which the distinguishing characteristics are extreme intensity of language, Ossianic metaphor, isolated brilliancy, and abstruse metaphysical disquisition on all sorts of sub jects sacred and profane. In juxtaposition with the transcendental effusions of this school, the Author of this small volume is aware, that his rhymes will appear tame and trivia], but he believes they will have one merit at least - they will be intelligible.
