Kathleen Jamie

Winner of the prestigious Forward Prize 2004, Kathleen Jamie is considered to be one of Britain’s most important poets. Her first travel book, Among Muslims, was described by The Independent as 'utterly luminous' and by the Times Literary Supplement as 'one of the most powerful accounts by a contemporary western writer'. Kathleen often writes for BBC Radio 3 and the London Review of Books, and is a lecturer in Creative Writing at St Andrews University. She lives in Fife with her husband and two young children.
