| Lipstick is Maggie Butt's first full collection and marks
the entrance of a voice at once witty and wise, poignant and
pertinent. Her poems have a natural approachability, focusing
on universal themes through a range of lenses and personae.
She brings fresh insight, dry humour and moving simplicity to
her subjects, whether writing about nylon sheets and jumble
sales, speaking in the voice of an 11th century stonemason,
or a Himalayan villager.Her poems cover the world, from Mexico
to Russia; they deal with war , with the resilience of women,
and, most of all, with love. |
| Maggie Butt is the Head of Media at Middlesex
University, London, where she has taught Creative Writing since
1990. She lives in north london with her husband and two daughters. |
