Author Bio
Iain Crichton Smith was one of the best-loved and most prolific Scottish authors of the twentieth century. He was born in Glasgow, brought up in Lewis, and attended university in Aberdeen. After starting work as a teacher in Clydebank and Dumbarton, he taught at the High School in Oban until he took early retirement in 1977. He was the recipient of many literary awards and received an OBE in 1980. His widow, Donalda, still lives in Taynuilt, where the couple moved after their marriage in 1977. Stewart Conn was born in Glasgow in 1936. He has been called 'one of Scotland's most skilled and wide-ranging poets'. Over recent decades his work, with its distinctive rhythmic and lyrical qualities, has been widely published, anthologized and translated. His works include The Breakfast Room, The Loving Cup, Ghosts at Cockcrow and Stolen Light: Selected Poems. He lives in Edinburgh.
