Bøger af MacGillivray

MacGillivray draws together her extensive research into the life and work of Norwegian-Shetlandic poet Kristján Norge, who vanished from the Outer Hebrides in 1961, presenting two previously unpublished poetry manuscripts by Norge, Optik: A History of Ghost and Ravage, and a work of fiction, The Wind of Voices.

1864. In a Santa Fe gulley, scalped Scots thirteen-year-old Robert McGee lies bleeding to death. The Last Wolf of Scotland is his dream, etched onto the plate of pioneer America, his scalp lock speaking back to him, a hallucination projected in a near-death cinema.This shocking real-life incident is our point of departure into the ritualistic imagination of MacGilivray. In this, her first collection, she dissects the Scottish imaginary and builds it up anew, creating a poetic panorama which stretches from the Highlands to the Wild West.

Trilogy of Scottish surrealist poetry with three Books of the Dead including a tree alphabet and sonnets on the execution of Mary Queen of Scots. Follows The Nine of Diamonds (Bloodaxe, 2016).

The Nine of Diamonds: Surroial Mordantless is a book in nine parts constructed to play the Butcher - the Duke of Cumberland - in a Gaelic interpretation of the ghost gamble. The Nine of Diamonds is MacGillivray's second book of poetry, and was followed by The Gaelic Garden of the Dead from Bloodaxe in 2019.
