A. MacGillivray Books

This Scottish writer and artist inhabits a rich artistic universe, encompassing performance art, songwriting, and visual media. Her multi-disciplinary practice lends her words an imaginative scope few young poets in the UK can rival. Her work conjures figures from the dark corners of Scottish and American history, excavating passion and transgression with precision and sympathy, offering readers new angles on history. Her poetry navigates the line between surreal reality and imaginative abstraction to trace the violence through which national mythologies are forged.
