Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Born in the Orkney island of Wyre in 1887, Edwin Muir spent his first years in the idyllic setting of his father's farm, until the family were forced by rising rents to move to Orkney's mainland, and then, in 1901, to Glasgow. Muir worked in a number of menial jobs and became engaged in left-wing politics. Through the 1920s and 1930s, and again after the war, he lived in various European cities, notably Dresden and Prague, following the developments in literature there, and producing, with his wife Willa, the first translations into English of Franz Kafka. Most of his best poetry was written after the age of fifty. He died in Cambridge in 1959.

Mick Imlah was born in 1956 and brought up near Glasgow and in Kent. He was educated at Magdalen College, Oxford, where he taught as a Junior Fellow. He was editor of Poetry Review from 1983 to 1986, and worked at the Times Literary Supplement from 1992. His poems appeared in The Zoologist's Bath (1982), Birthmarks (1988), Penguin New Poets 3 (1994) and Diehard (2006). He edited The New Penguin Book of Scottish Verse (with Robert Crawford, 2000) and made selections for Faber of the poems of Tennyson and Edwin Muir. He died in 2009.
