Liz was born in 1947, in Motherwell. She studied at the Glasgow School of Art and taught art at schools in Glasgow and Bristol. She was Writer in Residence at Edinburgh University and Writer in Residence at the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1988.
Her first collection of poems, Memo for Spring, was published in 1972 and won a Scottish Arts Council Book Award. Her poetry has been published in a number of collections including Penguin Modern Poets 4 A performer as well as a poet, her revue Sugar and Spite was staged in 1978 with Marcella Evaristi. Liz Lochhead travelled to Canada in the same year, after being selected for a Scottish Writers Exchange Fellowship, and she became a full-time writer, performance poet and broadcaster.
I do like this poem by Liz, most of us have no doubt experienced a bereavement and had to "pick" over the remnants of their belongings. Liz was friends with, in my opinion three Scottish literary greats in the 1970's Alasdair Gray, Jim Kelman and Tom Leonard.
A very talented writer, arguably Lochhead's most well known work is her 1987 play Mary Queen of Scots Got Her Head Chopped Off
which explores the relationship between Elizabeth I of England and Mary Stuart.
The moment she died, my mother’s dance dresses
turned from the colours they really were
to the colours I imagine them to be.
I can feel the weight of bumptoed silver shoes
swinging from their anklestraps as she swaggers
up the path towards her dad, light-headed
from airman’s kisses. Here, at what I’ll have to learn
to call my father’s house, yes every
ragbag scrap of duster prints her even more vivid
than an Ilford snapshot on some seafront
in a white cardigan and that exact frock.
Old lipsticks. Liquid stockings.
Labels like Harella, Gor-ray, Berketex.
As I manhandle whole outfits into binbags for Oxfam
every mote in my eye is a utility mark
and this is useful:
the sadness of dispossessed dresses,
the decency of good coats roundshouldered
in the darkness of wardrobes,
the gravitas of lapels,
the invisible danders of skin fizzing off from them
like all that life that will not neatly end.

Every single person here at Wicked Harlot would probably do some triple-somersaults if this woman ever wore anything other than black at this point. This is a beautiful gown, but you can tell the designer probably just slapped it on her because they couldn’t find anyone taller than 5’4 for it. It’s nice and flowy and the titty-window is a nice touch - the shoe’s anklestrap could’ve easily gone onto one of her bare arms instead, which would’ve made her legs look longer. It’s not a bad look by any means, though.
I wish more shoebrands had a narrow fit category like Birkenstock has. I'm already stuck with them as my go to comfort summershoe. It's not my fault my feet are about a size to long compared to their width. I too want to wear cute sandals, shoes with heels and especially LOAFERS like I could maybe have heels works for me with an anklestrap, they add to the overal cute look anyways, but I'm absolutely desperate for some loafers that won't slip of my feet. When I mean desperate I mean I'm absolutely dissapointed about my chances of realistically ever wearing any kind of loafers unless I'm rich enough to have them made customized for my feet.
