Alan Bold bol škótsky básnik a novinár, ktorého tvorba sa často venovala témam ako spoločenský život a politické nálady svojej doby. S veľkým záujmom o škótsku literatúru sa intenzívne venoval dielu Hugha MacDiarmida, stal sa jeho editorom a napísal vplyvnú biografiu. Boldova vlastná poézia, ktorá často odrážala jeho osobné skúsenosti a dobové spoločenské problémy, sa vyznačovala ambíciou a silným hlasom. Jeho raná tvorba, publikovaná už počas univerzitných štúdií, ho etablovala ako plodného a výrazného básnika, ktorý sa nebojí skúmať zložité spoločenské otázky.
