Liz Lochhead: Poems

Personal life

In 1986, Liz Lochhead married the architect Tom Logan.[42] The couple lived together in Glasgow until his death in 2010.[43] After his death she wrote the poem Favourite Place about their caravan on the West Coast of Scotland.[44] It ends:

But tonight you are three months dead
and I must pull down the bed and lie in it alone.
Tomorrow, and every day in this place
these words of Sorley MacLean’s will echo through me:
The world is still beautiful, though you are not in it.
And this will not be a consolation
but a further desolation.
