Meg Bateman:
Tha Meg Bateman am measg nam bàrd as cliùitiche ann an Alba, a’ sgrìobhadh ann an Gàidhlig agus Beurla. Anns a’ chiad chruinneachadh bàrdachd aice, Òrain Ghaoil (1989), tha dàin Ghàidhlig agus Gaeilge a’ dol an aghaidh dùil bàrdachd gaol tradiseanta. Thòisich i ri dàin a sgrìobhadh nuair a bha i a’ teagasg san Roinn Ceiltis aig Oilthigh Obair Dheathainn, is tha i a-nis ag obair aig Sabhal Mòr Ostaig air an Eilean Sgitheanach.
Meg Bateman is one of Scotland’s most celebrated poets, working in Gaelic and English. Her debut collection Òrain Ghaoil (1989) includes love poems written in both Scots and Irish Gaelic that broke through the clichés of love poetry in the Gaelic tradition. She started writing poetry while teaching at the University of Aberdeen’s Celtic department and now works at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig on Skye.

Tha i a’ sgrìobhadh bàrdachd ann an Gàidhlig agus sa Bheurla, agus tha an togail-suas dùthchail aice na phàirt chudromach den chruinneachadh bàrdachd aice, Dàn nan Dùil (CLÀR, 2019).
Deborah Moffatt is originally from rural Vermont, USA, but has lived and worked as a journalist in Argentina, Uruguay and Mexico, before settling in Scotland with her husband and her cat.
