Given the command on the back of a nine of diamonds - the Curse of Scotland - that the Highlanders should all be slaughtered, the persecution of Jacobite sympathisers after the Battle of Culloden under the Butcher was one of the worst atrocities carried out on British soil. Using a kaleidoscope, a deck of tarot cards and an 1895 Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, The Nine of Diamonds is influenced by French surrealism and opens with the Gaelic visionary practice of inducing visions behind a waterfall. Treating the Highlands as a Gaelic garden, the rebels on the run as herds of deer, and the preservation of Gaelic culture as a type of sugar-cured mummification, The Nine of Diamonds is set in a phantasmagoric landscape described in the Scots of Henryson and Dunbar but evoking Scots Gaelic concepts and motifs to mix Highland and Lowland experience with magical and occult terminology. With the deer as a central image, MacGillivray's poems draw from Nijinsky as gravity-defying faun, from Mallarme, Duchamp and Breton.Written in the run up to the 2014 Scottish referendum, The Nine of Diamonds operates as a powerful wish-text. In this strange vision populated by badly-wired and furious neon unicorns, escorticati preparing their own bodies, Second World War MacLeod fighter pilots with talismanic photographs of the clan's Fairy Flag in their uniform pockets, pole-dancing fauns, stained glass knights and rusty kaleidoscopes, the underlying message is clear: in playing the Butcher back, MacGillivray is still here.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49770218979601,"sku":"GOR008380413","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50157838795025,"sku":"GOR013874867","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50688597491985,"sku":"GOR012474221","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51052476694801,"sku":"NIN9781780373249","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1780373244.jpg?v=1750929657"},{"product_id":"last-wolf-of-scotland-book-macgillivray-9781906309664","title":"The Last Wolf of Scotland","description":"1864. In a Santa Fe gulley, scalped Scots thirteen-year-old Robert McGee lies bleeding to death. The Last Wolf of Scotland is his dream, etched onto the plate of pioneer America, his scalp lock speaking back to him, a hallucination projected in a near-death cinema.        This shocking real-life incident is our point of departure into the ritualistic imagination of MacGilivray. In this, her first collection, she dissects the Scottish imaginary and builds it up anew, creating a poetic panorama which stretches from the Highlands to the Wild West.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51056032678161,"sku":"NIN9781906309664","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52424599240977,"sku":"NLS9781906309664","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1906309663.jpg?v=1751315165"},{"product_id":"last-wolf-of-scotland-book-macgillivray-9781906309510","title":"The Last Wolf of Scotland","description":"Discover the ritualistic world of MacGillivray, a Scottish poet, singer-songwriter and visual artist of exceptional standing. Her debut poetry collection distills her multi-faceted artistic persona into a poetry of echoing, incantatory force.  Written in a free verse that modulates between romantic shadow and performative revelation, the poems collide action and image into surprising combinations. From the lion \"sick on honey heather\" who is devoured by a horse from a George Stubbs painting, to a Wild West Rodeo at Loch Ness, MacGillivray twists the past into visceral new configurations.  The work reflects her passion for the weird and wonderful legends which fill Scottish history, and the often surprising connections they make with sympathetic cultures, such as that of the Navajo, whose roaming skin-walkers meet Ernest Seton - the man reported to have killed the last wolf of Scotland - in a wildly atmospheric encounter. Voicing myths of origin that are both extraordinary acts of the imagination, and yet too strange to be entirely fictitious, MacGillivray's debut collection is an essential read.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53650448646417,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53650448810257,"sku":"GOR006174252","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781906309510.jpg?v=1781184255"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-macgillivray.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
