Sasha Dugdale & Rebecca Sharp: New Myths

How do myths – both ancient and modern – shape our lives? Two new poetry collections reckon with this question. In Long Field Loop, Rebecca Sharp explores the last decade, a turbulent time for Scottish politics and identity as well as Sharp’s personal life. Meanwhile, Sasha Dugdale’s sixth collection, The Strongbox, traces the lineage of Greek mythology and epic female figures in our modern times. Chaired by Marjorie Lotfi.
