Abstract
This essay charts a series of investigations into the concept of the 'break' in Edwin Morgan's poetry written before 1980 through poetological and poetic demonstrations. In reading the breaks in Morgan, and particularly the poet's development in his practice after the Second World War and before the passing of the Section 80 Criminal Justice Scotland Act of 1980, of a counterhistory of poetic 'breaks' (through spatial, translational, caesural, lineal, generic means), a new mode of reading his virtuosic oeuvre may be developed whose principle is made coherent via the 'law of the excluded middle' as a sub rosa queer revolution in the poetic line.
