Deveron Words: Catch the Moment
From the Cabrach to Banff Brig: Writers of the Deveron with Angus Dunn, Hilda Meers and Huntly Writers
Wednesday 30 May 2007
8pm
Duff House, Banff [Venue 15]
Admission Free
Huntly Writers invite you to gather with them in the elegant surroundings of Duff House for a programme of poetry and prose. The work you will hear rises from the land of the Deveron and has strong roots in the traditions, myths and legends of its folk. They will be joined by Angus Dunn, Cromarty poet and writer, who recently published his first novel to wide acclaim, and by Hilda Meers, a well known local poet.

Angus Dunn is from the Highlands of Scotland and is the author of the novel Writing in the Sand (Luath Press, 2006). He was awarded the 1995 Robert Louis Stevenson Prize and the 2002 Neil Gunn Short Story Prize. His short stories have been published in many literary magazines and in collections such as New Writing Scotland and Macallan Shorts. Stories have also been broadcast on BBC Radio 4, Radio Scotland and Loch Broom FM. His poetry has been published in many Scottish magazines and anthologies. He was brought up in Aultbea and Cromarty and now lives near Strathpeffer in Ross-shire. |

Hilda Meers lived, worked, wrote for much of her life in England. Transplanting herself to the Moray Firth, still campaigning, she goes on writing - with attitude - stories, books, on-the-page and performance poems. |
Linda Smith, Chris Andrews, Annie Lamb, Ruth Bean, Maureen Ross, Phyllis Goodall, Margaret Grant and Haworth Hodgkinson will be amongst the members of Huntly Writers appearing at this event.
