George Mackay Brown is recognized as one of Scotland's great 20th-century lyric poets. His work is integral to the flowering of Scottish literature during the last fifty years. Admired by many fellow poets, including Seamus Heaney and Douglas Dunn, his poems are deeply individual and unmistakable in their setting: 'the small green world' of the Orkney Islands where he lived for most of his life, with its elemental forces of sea and sky and Norse and Icelandic ancestry, is brought to life. Here, his poetry is collected in one volume, making available again many poems that are otherwise out of print.

Manuscripts
A collection of approximately 752 items from 1859 to 1902, which consists of the scientific and professional papers of Clarence King. The material includes correspondence, notebooks, letter books, notes, surveys, sketches, manuscripts, photographs, and ephemera. The 43 scientific notebooks in the collection include material on the California Geological Survey of 1864 to 1866, and the United States Geological Exploration of the Fortieth Parallel from 1867 to 1872. The collection also includes correspondence between James D. Hague and G. P. Putnam's Sons regarding Hague's publication of Clarence King's Memoirs (1904). While the collection is rich in detail about King's many professional activities, most of the personal dimensions of his life (such as his marriage to Ada Copeland, an African American resident of New York City, their five children, and their subsequent life together, which he concealed for decades) are not reflected in these papers.
