Liz Lochhead - 'View of Scotland/Love Poem' (discussion)
Liz Lochhead responds to questions and comments from students about her poem 'View of Scotland/Love Poem'. She expands her thoughts on memories and the importance of the past, including New Year traditions. She makes a distinction between memory and nostalgia, the former representing truth, the latter likely to comprise 'sentimental lies about the past'. There is also some black and white film from the 1950s depicting Hogmanay celebrations.
