Gillian Clarke, Carol Ann Duffy and Liz Lochhead

Together at Aye Write!: the Poet Laureate, Carol Ann Duffy, the National Poet of Wales, Gillian Clarke, and Liz Lochhead, the Scot's makar. In Duffy's most recent poetry collection, The Bees, there are drinking songs, love poems, poems to the weather, poems of political anger; her celebrated 'Last Post', written for the last surviving soldiers to fight in the First World War; and elegies for beloved friends and – most movingly – her own mother. Clarke's most recent books are a collection of poems, A Recipe for Water, and a prose collection, At the Source: A Writer's Year. Her latest book, Ice, is due later this year. Lochhead's A Choosing is a stunning new collection of selected works from one of Scotland's most loved writers. Part of Aye Write!
