Poetic Obituaries: Mick Imlah was one of the outstanding poets

of his generation. Using his postmodernist Oxford background as a springboard, he vigorously reinvented himself as an ironical Scottish writer of unique humour and insight.

Michael Ogilvie Imlah was born (with his twin Fiona) in Aberdeen in 1956, and brought up in Milngavie, near Glasgow.
