Paterson, Don (1963– ), poet and jazz musician, born in Dundee. His much-praised first collection,
Nil Nil (1993) introduced his distinctive style, mingling demotic and recondite vocabulary in tightly wrought, often oblique poems about love, families, reading, and fear of parenthood. In
God's Gift to Women (1997, T. S. Eliot Prize), a more supple and confident lyric voice emerges in a variety of forms. Poems on various subjects (memory, relationships, etc.) are loosely connected by the structuring device of a train journey, which also provides some of the volume's most striking imagery.
