{"product_id":"women-poetry-and-the-voice-anne-varty-9781474489850","title":"Women, Poetry and the Voice of a Nation","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe concurrent tenures of Gillian Clarke as National Poet of Wales, Carol Ann Duffy as UK Poet Laureate, Liz Lochhead as Scots Makar, and Paula Meehan as Ireland Professor of Poetry, defied historic rifts between women, poetry and nation. This book explores the extraordinary changes these women fought to achieve as each made her way from marginalised 'poetess' of the 1970s to laureate at the heart of cultural establishment in the 21st century. It looks at how they revitalised these public offices, and explores their interventions in contemporary geopolitics and national self-understanding. It considers how they shaped their roles by engaging with poetic icons of the past, by linking poetry and education, and by joining poetry with politics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne Varty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474489850\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474489850\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/17\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.53d","brand":"Anne Varty","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44254754013439,"sku":"9781474489850","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a8583d2f-fbb1-47ab-9b15-b9bf4002c9b4.jpg?v=1694614183","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/women-poetry-and-the-voice-anne-varty-9781474489850","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
