Textural Analysis of Edwin Morgan’s
Instamatic Poems
10
For the teacher
Please find brief notes on Edwin Morgan’s collection of instamatic poems:
This work booklet will look at some poetry from a series by Edwin Morgan called “Instamatic Poems”, written in 1972.
The Instamatic was a camera, popular in the 1960s and '70s, which was inexpensive and easy to load and allowed millions of people to take instantly produced pictures for the first time. Morgan uses the term "instamatic" to describe a type of poetry which is instantaneous and documentary in feel.
Morgan has said that these poems were based on real events that he had either seen reported on television or read about in the newspapers. Just as a news reporter does, he tries to present the facts of the story objectively and dispassionately. The poet is not an observer in the poem itself and he is careful not to add comment. This allows the reader to put their own interpretation on the events described.
Please share this information with your pupils. It will be helpful for them to have an understanding of these poems’ intentions and meanings.

Venice April 1971
Three black gondolascut the sparkle of the lagoon.
In the first, the Greek archimandritestands, a young black-bearded manin gold cope, black hood, black shoulder veil blown back in the sunny breeze. In front of him his even younger acolyte holds highthe glittering processional cross. His long black robe
glitters with delicious silver flowersagainst the blue of the sky.
In the second gondolas Stravinsky goes.The black fringe trails the lapping water, the heavy coffin dips the golden loins on the sides, the gondoliers are ankle-deep in roses, the coffin sways crowned with roses, the gondoliers’ white blouses and black sashes startle their brown arms, the shining oars, the pink and crimson flowers.
And the third gondola is like a shadow where the widow goes.
And there at the edge of the picture where the crowds cross themselves and weep a little in the Italian way, an old poet with white hair, and hooded, piercing eyes leans on his stick and without expression watches the boats move out from his shore.

London November 1971
At the Festival of Islamthe dervishes are dancing. The dancemaster stands in his long black gown straight-backed, his hands folded in front of him. Twelve swarthy men in cylindrical hats and loose white blouses and long white skirts and their long white sleeves stretched out straight like the albatross have begun to dance. The drum measures flutes and strings and men following.Serious, rapt, as if to wind themselves up with their arms they revolve, their skirts flaring out loose in white pyramids below the inverted pyramids of white blouses and arms which support the top truncated pyramids of circling hats. Pattern and no pattern, alone and in union without unison in the hard light of Friends' House in Euston Road the dervishes whirl round, they dance round, round they go, without sound, now, round and round.

The ‘speckled pipe’ of the MacCrimmons,three centuries old, is being playedin a backcourt very far from Dunvegan.A young director of the College of Piping is trying it out for a radio programme. Only his cheeks show the pibroch that rises winding into the wintry city air.It is the long drones that are speckled, carved in clusters of elegant bands of creamy horn and dark brown wood, but speckled are the high tenement walls behind them, dark stone, pale mortar, narrow verticals of dark window and water-pipe and pale smudge of curtains, and speckled is the piper’s kilt against a speckled homely jungle of grasses, thistles, dandelions, fireweed, firewood, Capstan packets and Lanliq empties.In a camouflage the pibroch and the pibroch-player disappear, half appear MacCrimmons in Hornel.

London January 1973
It is not a pile of diamonds, it is not tons of money that lie like a deadweight over gemsman Julius Beer. His hideous mausoleum in Highgate Cemetery, revealed in this journalist’s flash, is a pit of filth half filled with pigeon droppings and dead pigeons and pigeons dying hundredweight on hundredweighttrapped in the poisonous cote. Down through the broken wire of the cupola they come, but cannot fly back out.One flutters weakly at the top of the picture, will soon fall into gehenna. In the diamondman’s invisible bones nothing takes root but death

London January 1973
It is not a pile of diamonds, it is not tons of money that lie like a deadweight over gemsman Julius Beer. His hideous mausoleum in Highgate Cemetery, revealed in this journalist’s flash, is a pit of filth half filled with pigeon droppings and dead pigeons and pigeons dying hundredweight on hundredweighttrapped in the poisonous cote. Down through the broken wire of the cupola they come, but cannot fly back out.One flutters weakly at the top of the picture, will soon fall into gehenna. In the diamondman’s invisible bones nothing takes root but death

Venice April 1971
Three black gondolascut the sparkle of the lagoon.
In the first, the Greek archimandritestands, a young black-bearded manin gold cope, black hood, black shoulder veil blown back in the sunny breeze. In front of him his even younger acolyte holds highthe glittering processional cross. His long black robe
glitters with delicious silver flowersagainst the blue of the sky.
In the second gondolas Stravinsky goes.The black fringe trails the lapping water, the heavy coffin dips the golden loins on the sides, the gondoliers are ankle-deep in roses, the coffin sways crowned with roses, the gondoliers’ white blouses and black sashes startle their brown arms, the shining oars, the pink and crimson flowers.
And the third gondola is like a shadow where the widow goes.
And there at the edge of the picture where the crowds cross themselves and weep a little in the Italian way, an old poet with white hair, and hooded, piercing eyes leans on his stick and without expression watches the boats move out from his shore.

London November 1971
At the Festival of Islamthe dervishes are dancing. The dancemaster stands in his long black gown straight-backed, his hands folded in front of him. Twelve swarthy men in cylindrical hats and loose white blouses and long white skirts and their long white sleeves stretched out straight like the albatross have begun to dance. The drum measures flutes and strings and men following.Serious, rapt, as if to wind themselves up with their arms they revolve, their skirts flaring out loose in white pyramids below the inverted pyramids of white blouses and arms which support the top truncated pyramids of circling hats. Pattern and no pattern, alone and in union without unison in the hard light of Friends' House in Euston Road the dervishes whirl round, they dance round, round they go, without sound, now, round and round.

The ‘speckled pipe’ of the MacCrimmons,three centuries old, is being playedin a backcourt very far from Dunvegan.A young director of the College of Piping is trying it out for a radio programme.Only his cheeks show the pibroch that rises winding into the wintry city air.It is the long drones that are speckled, carved in clusters of elegant bands of creamy horn and dark brown wood, but speckled are the high tenement walls behind them, dark stone, pale mortar, narrow verticals of dark window and water-pipe and pale smudge of curtains, and speckled is the piper’s kilt against a speckled homely jungle of grasses, thistles, dandelions, fireweed, firewood, Capstan packets and Lanliq empties.In a camouflage the pibroch and the pibroch-player disappear, half appear MacCrimmons in Hornel.

Task 2.2
By referring to this poem and at least one other poem, explain how Morgan captures a snapshot of Glasgow. 4 marks
Extension Task 3: The London Poems
Take London November 1971 and London January 1973. Both of these poems take place in London.
Task 3.1
What are the key differences between these poems? Refer to content, tone, mood, structure and so on in your answer. Use examples from the poems to support what you are saying.
Task 3.2
Why do you think these two images caught the attention of Morgan? (Remember Morgan got his inspiration for these poems from the newspaper and television.)
Extension Task 4: Dona Ema Brazil 1972
Task 4.1
Use the internet to look up information on Alexander Lenard. Who is he? Why do you think Morgan chosen Lenard specifically for this poem? Refer to the use of Latin in your answer.
Task 4.2
As we know, Morgan’s “Instamatic” poems are a collection of ‘snapshot’ poems that were written between 1970 – 1972. Reread the poem again. What images do you think stand out instantly like a ‘snapshot’ photograph?
Extension Task 5: Andes Mountains December 1972
Task 5.1
Describe what has happened in the poem. You may use the internet to provide information on the location in which the poem takes place. Refer to the Old Christians in your answer.
Task 5.2
As we know, Morgan’s “Instamatic” poems are a collection of ‘snapshot’ poems that were written between 1970 – 1972. He aims to write these similarly to a newspaper journalist, with as little connection or emotion to the scene in the poem, so that the emotions conveyed by the reader are spurred by you (the reader) only. In your own opinion, what do you think is the overall tone and mood of the poem?
49
Extension Task 6: The Collection of Instamatic Poems
Task 6.1
This poems in the ‘Instamatic Collection’ have interesting forms and structures. They are free verse poems so they do not use consistent metre patterns or rhyme. Instead these poems tend to follow the rhythm of natural speech. Therefore, these poems look quite different to other forms of poetry such as sonnets, haikus and limericks which all have strict structures and rhyming schemes. Whereas, the poems have sentences continuing over several lines.
Referring to at least two poems, answer the following questions.
1. What form of writing do you think Morgan is trying to mimic in this poem? (Think about his sources for finding out about these events)
2. Why do you think Morgan is choosing this form and structure? What effect is he going for?
3. Although Morgan is being very careful to remain objective and dispassionate, how do you think Morgan feels about the events depicted in the poem? How does he want his readers to feel?
Task 6.2
1. Glasgow October 1972 differs from Glasgow 5th March in several ways. a. Note down the main differences between the two. Consider the tone
and atmosphere of the poems as well as content and setting.b. Despite the differences, the two poems still belong to the “Instamatic
Poems” collection. What are the main similarities to the two poems?c. The story which inspired Glasgow October 1971 is not as dramatic as
Glasgow 5 March 1971, so why might it have captured the attention of Edwin Morgan?
Task 6.3
Considering the instamatic poems that have been looked at. Do you think Morgan is effective in creating these snapshot images in his writing? Why/Why not? Refer to at least 2 poems in your answer.

Edwin Morgan’s Instamatic Poems:
Creative Writing
51
For the teacher
Please find brief notes on Edwin Morgan’s collection of instamatic poems:
This work booklet will look at some poetry from a series by Edwin Morgan called “Instamatic Poems”, written in 1972.
The Instamatic was a camera, popular in the 1960s and '70s, which was inexpensive and easy to load and allowed millions of people to take instantly produced pictures for the first time. Morgan uses the term "instamatic" to describe a type of poetry which is instantaneous and documentary in feel.
Morgan has said that these poems were based on real events that he had either seen reported on television or read about in the newspapers. Just as a news reporter does, he tries to present the facts of the story objectively and dispassionately. The poet is not an observer in the poem itself and he is careful not to add comment. This allows the reader to put their own interpretation on the events described.
Please share this information with your pupils. It will be helpful for them to have an understanding of Morgan’s method for writing these poems that they will aim to imitate. There is a suggested activity on how you may want to do this on the following page.
52
Group Discussion: Meaning of ‘Instamatic’
What does ‘Instamatic’ mean? Break down the word. Is there anything that you immediately recognise?
o Insta – Instantly, Instagramo Definition of ‘instantly’o What is Instagram?o From what we already know, what do we now assume ‘instamatic’
means?
The Instamatic was a camera, popular in the 1960s and '70s, which was inexpensive and easy to load and allowed millions of people to take instantly produced pictures for the first time.
We might recognise this as a Polaroid camera nowadays.

Question:How does Morgan’s ‘instamatic’ poetry relate to the instamatic cameras/polaroid camera/Instagram?
Answer Example: Just as Instagram or a Polaroid camera allow us to instantly post a picture or instantly develop the picture we have just taken. So too does Morgan poetry: Morgan gives us a quick snap shot at what was happening in the world when he wrote his instamatic poems.
54
Task 1
We know that Morgan got his inspiration from newspapers or the news on TV. In your groups decide on the types of headlines that might have grabbed Morgan’s attention?Now, read the instamatic poems.You now know the content of the poems.In your groups, come up with the possible headlights that would fit the content of the poem.
Task 2
Glasgow 5 March 1971
Returning to the idea of the Instamatic camera, imagine what image would have been captured during the events described in the poem. If you think of the poem as firstly describing the centre of the image and slowly working its way out, you can see that the poem is describing the foreground, the middle-ground, and the background. In the following exercise, describe each section in as much detail as possible:
Foreground:
Middle-ground:
Background:
55
Now you have done this with Glasgow 5 March 1971, try it with another one of Morgan’s instamatic poems.

Writing your own Instamatic Poem
Ideas for the teacher
Differentiated ways in which this can be done:1. Copy out the original version of whatever instamatic poem is chosen by the
pupil. Get them to remove words from the poem. Pupils then have to add in their own descriptive words to produce a completed work.
2. Copy out the original poem but pupils have to re-write a number of different lines.
3. Write their own instamatic poem in any way they choose.
Writing their own poem in any way they choose
Homework Task
56
Pupils should research and find their own selection of news articles that they wish to possibly write their poem on. Ideally, encourage pupils to find articles which have a picture attached to it – it may be easier for them if they can physically see what they are supposed to be describing. If they find a maximum of three then they will have a choice to choose from when it comes to actually writing their own poem. Articles should be printed off or cut out from the newspaper.
Suggested class tasks:
1. Create the criteria. These are the things that must be met when pupils write their poem. An example may be that pupils need to ensure that they do not assert their own opinions in the poem – creating a detached feeling like Morgan did.
2. Summarise the article in 5 sentences. Then 5 words. Finally, only 1 word.3. What is the tone of the article?4. How does the article make them feel?5. Summarise the picture that goes along with the article. What is in it
(Foreground, Middle-ground, Background). How would they describe it to someone who was unable to see the picture?
6. What is the mood/atmosphere of the picture?7. How does the picture make them feel?8. How would they describe what is in the picture? How would they describe it
only using 5 adjectives? How would they describe it using their senses apart from sight? What imagery would they use to describe the picture – getting pupils to practise using similes, metaphors and personification in their own writing.
9. How does the picture relate to the article?10.What pace will they use in their poem? Does the article/picture feel like its
poem needs a fast or slow pace? How is this best achieved?11.How will be poem be structured? 1 continuous stanza/multiple stanzas? how
many lines12.Storyboard the poem. How will it open? What will the middle of the poem
depict? How will it end?13.Write and redraft poems. Encourage pupils to peer- and self-assess.14.Get pupils to write their own textural analysis questions on their own
instamatic poem to give to their peers.
