One of Scotland's most popular poets, Dunkeld-based Kenneth Steven, well-known to audiences in the North-East, appears alongside one of our finest local poets, Douglas W. Gray.

Kenneth Steven

Kenneth Steven is a poet, children's author and writer of both full-length and short fiction. He's also well known as a translator from the Scandinavian languages, particularly Norwegian. He's first and foremost a poet; seven of his collections have been published to date and a volume of selected poems appeared in December of 2007 from Peterloo. He's published a number of picture books and a first novel, The Santa Maria, for children, and three novels concerning the land comprise A Highland Trilogy.

Douglas W. Gray

Douglas W. Gray lives in Cove Bay; founder member of the Dead Good Poets, former editor of poetry magazines Storm and Spume, published widely. Awards include: second prize in the Northwords Open Poetry Competiton 1998, first prize in the Feile Filiochta Open Poetry Competiton and the Irish Times Perpetual Trophy 2001, second placed in the Scottish International Poetry Competition 2003, and winner of the Ayr 800 Open Poetry Competition 2005.
