Paperback. Condition: New. I'm relieved to find such things are there, in spite of hunger and carnageunder the same moon, and my place in their terrible chain; glad that my mother's hands, after long years of sustaining us all, will place on her table, once again, her annual offerings at tomorrow's feast. From Late Night Christmas ShoppingTomorrow's Feast is Stevenson's third poetry collection and reflects the challenges of today's world. At the forefront of the poet's consciousness here is the legacy faced by the next generation. In many ways, as the title implies, the book is a tribute to youth. Its scope is wide and deep, profoundly personal as well as political, employing a range of poetic forms, including a virtuosic libretto in verse, a contemporary retelling of Coleridge's epic poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner set during the refugee crisis.

Stevenson's array of characters from many walks of life and nationalities - including a traveller, a wood carver, chicken farm workers, a nurse, an architect and a magician - meet and part, some becoming reacquainted.Themes exploring identity, creativity and the environment, echo and connect throughout the different narratives, sometimes carried in snatches of song. The author leads us outward from her native Scottish Borders to Edinburgh, Glasgow and the Gàidhealtachd, south to England, across the Atlantic to Apartheid South Africa and, finally, to the melting Arctic.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Appearing at the Edinburgh Festival, August 2013.If This Were Real is a kind of autobiography in verse: beginning in the lost Eden of childhood, the warmth of family life and the wildness of weather in her native Scotland, then on to intense snapshots of a wider, troubled world: Bosnia, Iraq, Syria. From Pentland rain to Sarajevo roses, these are poems that demand not just to be read, but to be performed, 'spot-lit lies, / floodlit truths, and shadowed ambiguities / in our retellings of the world's old tales'.Gerda Stevenson is well-known for her work in theatre, radio, film and TV. She appeared in the Hollywood blockbuster Braveheart (1995), and won a BAFTA Best Film Actress award for Margaret Tait's Blue Black Permanent (1992).

Her poetry has appeared in the Scotsman, the Herald, New Writing Scotland and the Cork Literary Review, as well as the Smokestack anthology A Rose Loupt Oot: Poetry and Song Celebrating the UCS Work-In (2011). She has also written extensively for radio. Her stage play Federer versus Murray was shortlisted for the London Fringe Theatre Writing Award 2010, and toured to New York in 2012. She lives with her husband, the poet Aonghas MacNeacail, in the Pentland Hills in the Scottish Borders. Gerda Stevenson's long-awaited first full-length collection is filled with song and music - skipping rhymes, piano, dance and marching music, laments and lullabies. She sings about butterflies, snowberries, aunts, teachers, Pentland rain, Sarajevo roses, graveyards, driftwood and the lost Eden of childhood; about wild weather, warm companionship an Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
