The Singing Birdby Sheena Blackhall
One of Scotland's most notable contemporary writers in the Scots tongue, Sheena Blackhall is currently Fellow in Creative Scots Writing at the Elphinstone Institute, University of Aberdeen and is widely engaged with schools and adult groups in stimulating the art of creative writing, primarily though not exclusively in the North-East vernacular.
She now has a very extensive range of publications to her name and her most recent, The Singing Bird, is a volume of her most recent poetry, ranging from delicately barbed humorous verse to a darker treatment of the more tragic aspects of the human condition.
Especially noteworthy are her translations into the local Doric of modern poems from Greece, Poland and Romania; her own atmospheric impressions of life, past and present, at King's College; and her haunting evocations of both urban and rural existence in Aberdeen and beyond.
