Penulis: Liz Lochhead

Liz Lochhead was born in Motherwell in 1947. While studying at the Glasgow School of Art she began to write seriously, gradually losing her way with her initial dream of becoming a painter. Her first book of poetry,  Memo for Spring, was published in 1972 and sold 5, 000 copies. The Scottish-Canadian Writers Exchange Fellowship, 1978–9, marked her transition to full-time writer. She has since published several plays and poetry collections including A Choosing and most recently Fugitive Colours. Liz Lochhead was Scots Makar from 2011–2016.
