“Cutler had a lighter, quieter, sparser approach to the weird, macabre and illogical than the majority of surrealists. The darkness is transmuted into mischief and the savagery into play. There is melancholy in some of the poems, even despair, but it tends to be counterbalanced by the charm and daftness.” —Rhys Hughes on the sublime daftness of Ivor Cutler 4/7 https://borderlessjournal.com/2021/06/14/never-knowingly-understood-the-sublime-daftness-of-ivor-cutler/ #Scottish #literature #poetry #music #humour #surrealism #absurdist #IvorCutler
