Workshops & Mentoring
Gerrie Fellows is the author of four collections of poetry including the
environmental prose-poetry sequence The Powerlines. Her latest book, Window
for a Small Blue Child (Carcanet November 2007), is a sequence of poems
about fertility treatment in which the language and the images of medical
technology interact with those of the body in the natural world.
She has been a writer in residence and for many years ran a well-established
writer's workshop at Glasgow University.

Gerry Cambridge was born in Morecambe, Lancashire, part of the Irish Diaspora (Cambridge is a Gaelic surname); he has lived in Scotland since 1972 and has a longtime interest in photography and natural history, especially birds, which, he writes, 'often seem to fly into or out of my poems'.
His publications include Aves Essence Press, 2007, Imagined Space, Fablevision, 2006, Light Up Lanarkshire Clydeside Press, 2006, Madame Fi Fi's Farewell and other poems, Luath Press, 2003 and Nothing But Heather!

Gerry McGrath grew up in Helensburgh, Scotland. He writes: "After various adventures ranging from floor-sanding to studying Russian intensively for a year, I became a teacher and worked for several years at a school in Falkirk. I left in June 2000 to recover from M.E."
On writing poems he has this to say: "Nothing happens for a while, then suddenly it hits you, like slow lightning."
His first full collection, A to B, will be published by Carcanet in 2008 and his work may be found in the following anthologies: New Poetries IV (Carcanet, 2007), and Being Alive (Bloodaxe, Tarset, 2004). His website is at www.GerryMcGrath.co.uk
