![]() ![]() Author: Lochhead Liz Publisher: Argolibri 'Una scelta' è un'antologia di poesie della poetessa e drammaturga scozzese Liz Lochhead, insignita nel 2011 del titolo di Makar, poeta nazionale della Scozia. L'opera raccoglie i testi composti in un arco temporale di quasi quarant'anni dalla pubblicazione della sua prima raccolta di poesie 'Memo for Spring' del 1972. Nella prefazione all'opera, la grande poetessa anglosassone Carol Ann Duy mette in risalto che a quel tempo la voce poetica femminile della Lochhead costituì un'assoluta novità nel panorama e nel canone letterario scozzese dominato da voci poetiche maschili: «La primavera (Spring) della Lochhead sbocciò nel contesto prevalentemente maschile della poesia scozzese e tuttavia riuscì a renderlo femminile». Il femminismo e l'ironia sono le caratteristiche distintive della sua opera poetica, che attraverso immagini del passato, ricordi infantili e caustici quadretti quotidiani, svela la profonda disuguaglianza sociale esistente tra i due sessi, all'interno dei ruoli stereotipati imposti dal sistema patriarcale scozzese. Parallelamente, l'autrice evidenzia tutte le criticità di una Scozia subordinata alla dominazione politica e culturale inglese che tenta, in prospettiva fortemente 'anglocentrica', di annichilire la sua identità nazionale, rischiando di azzerare tradizioni secolari e soprattutto lo Scots, il suo storico idioma. Prefazione di Carol Ann Duffy. € 16,00

![]() ![]() Author: Liz Lochhead Publisher: BIRLINN The poems within this remarkable collection are often poems of love or death and iconic figures, Jungian archetypes, animus figures with strong outlines, harsh comfort and, often, voices of their own which dominate the first, the 'title', section of the book. Here you can find poems that are both autobiographical or entirely fictional set in Liz Lochhead's native rural/industrial Lanarkshire. There are also poems dedicated to other poets and a section of the rude and the rhyming, the out-loud, boldly revealing Lochhead's interest in 'unrespectable' poetry, in black prison 'toasts', in recitations, folk-poems and music hall monologues. The colour of both the black and the white. The collaboration with the printmaker Willie Rodger was also an essential part of the making of this book. Lochhead, long an admirer of Rodger's work, felt strongly that he was a kindred spirit and his poetically pared down and essential linocuts accentuate the positive and the negative, the black and the white. € 11,60

![]() ![]() Author: Lochhead Liz, Euripides Publisher: NICK HERN BOOKS "Liz Lochhead's stunning new version of Medea is the kind of interpretation—brave, visionary, risky—that blows a well-known text apart and reassembles it in a completely new light... What Lochhead does is to recast Medea as an episode—ancient but new, cosmic yet agonizingly familiar—in a sex war which is recognizable to every woman, and most of the men, in the theatre..."—The Scotsman € 19,60
