A Poet, a Life
Author: Martha Baskin
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 166982201X
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
This collection of poems was written over a lifetime. Rather than presenting them in chronological order, they are collected and presented in sections reflecting the preoccupations which prompted them. We are all born into some sort of family, to some sort of culture, into a specific language, and to some extent, that is what defines us. Love, whom we love, and how that works out is a topic we all encounter. Joy and contentment mingle in our mind along with disappointment, despair, and existential questions. We all have Others in our life, those with whom we share our brief time on earth – our relationship to family, loved one, strangers, friends, animals, and the environment, are subjects we all ponder. Poets are those of us who can’t resist struggling to record those feelings and jotting them down in some sort of personal style.

The Cheviot, the Stag and the Black, Black Oil
Author: John McGrath
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 147252957X
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
Written during the 1970s, John McGrath's winding, furious, innovative play tracks the economic history and exploitation of the Scottish Highlands from the post-Rebellion suppression of the clans to the story of the Clearances: in the nineteenth century, aristocratic landowners discovered the profitability of sheep farming, and forced a mass emigration of rural Highlanders, burning their houses in order to make way for the Cheviot sheep. The play follows the thread of capitalist and repressive exploitation through the estates of the stag-hunting landed gentry, to the 1970s rush for profit in the name of North Sea Oil. Described by the playwright as having a “ceilidh” format, The Cheviot, the Stag and the Black, Black Oil draws on historical research alongside Gaelic song and the Scots' love of variety and popular entertainment to tell this epic story. A totally distinctive cultural and theatrical phenomenon, the play championed several new approaches to theatre, raising its profile as a means of political intervention; proposing a collective, democratic, collaborative approach to creating theatre; offering a language of performance accessible to working-class people; producing theatre in non-purpose-built theatre spaces; breaking down the barrier between audience and performers through interaction; and taking theatre to people who otherwise would not access it. The play received its premiere in 1973 by the agit-prop theatre group 7:84, of which John McGrath was founder and Artistic Director, and toured Scotland to great critical and audience acclaim.
