Maureen Ross was born and brought up in the North-East of Scotland and has written poetry for most of her life. Some of it has seen the light of day in recent years in Pushing Out the Boat and Storm. Koo Press published a chapbook of her work Day Moth in 2006. She is a member of Huntly Writers and through this group has been involved in various poetry readings and performances. Readers of last year's biographical note will be pleased to note that her dog has now stopped eating the house (however she is having to get a new kitchen) and the grandchildren and doing fine. |
