About this book
College examinations, damaged hats and a town absorbed in golf give R. F. Murray plenty to tease in these poems of St. Andrews life. The university and the coast supply both everyday incidents and scenes for recollection. In one comic piece, the approach of exams spoils the pleasures of spring; in another, a friendly visit leaves a cherished hat crushed on the sofa. Murray turns these small troubles into patterned verse, with rhyme and recurring lines sharpening the jokes.
Alongside the humor are love lyrics, farewells and poems about music, memory and death. A walk past the college tower toward the pier brings back the feeling of earlier days, while the middle excerpt includes literary parodies and an appeal for the university's renewed standing.
