Jackie Kay
in conversation with Pitlochry Festival Theatre Artistic Director Elizabeth Newman

Jackie Kay was born and brought up in Scotland. She is the author of – among other books – The Adoption Papers, which won the Forward Prize, Red Dust Road, winner of the Scottish Book of the Year Award, Trumpet, and the Costa-shortlisted Fiere. She was the third Makar, or National Poet for Scotland (2016-2021). She is a Professor of Creative Writing at the University of Salford.

“Her poetry achieves that joyful and rare thing; it is of high literary merit and also accessible to even those who may not have encountered poetry before.”
