Meg Bateman is a lecturer at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig in Skye, part of the University of the Highlands and Islands, where she teaches literature and philosophy through the medium of Gaelic. She was born in Edinburgh in 1959, and learnt Gaelic in South Uist and the University of Aberdeen where she taught for many years. Her poetry is included in numerous anthologies such as the Penguin Book of Scottish Verse and the Penguin Book of Poetry from Britain and Ireland since 1945. She has translated and co-edited anthologies of Gaelic medieval, 17th century and religious verse. Her two collections, Aotromachd / Lightness and Soirbheas / Fair Wind, were short-listed for the Scottish Book of the Year award in 1997 and 2007 and won a Scottish Arts Council Award. A collection mostly in English, Transparencies, is due to be published this year. |
