You can get another online spotlight on those Scots poets by glancing at Poetry Scotland 3 (1946)
http://www.modernistmagazines.com/media/pdf/297.pdf
Here you'll see a bunch of the same poets as in Rexroth, and some of the same poems (Drinan's "Love Song", Graham's "Brother") . Nicholas Moore is included (and he also gets a book reviewed) on the basis of having attended St Andrews with GS Fraser.
Also here is Eric Linklater scolding J.F Hendry for arrogance (i.e. incomprehensible poetry) in terms that will be familiar to all.
and Graham's interesting "notes on a poetry of release"
and Hendry's sharp temperate reviews of Drinan and Bruce set alongside robust attacks on the Apocalyptics by Maurice Lindsay and Douglas Young. Something nostalgic about that time when poetry appeared such a small thing that its debaters could still be heard by each other, could still sit in one room. Or should I say gentleman's club? Poetry Scotland 3, in marked contrast to Rexroth's anthology, included no woman writers.
