Poets'
A-Z » Gillian Ferguson
Gillian K Ferguson was born in Edinburgh. She gained an Honours
degree in Philosophy from Edinburgh University, and then worked
in various ways to support her poetry - as a jewellery-maker,
artist, and Tutor in Arts at the Open University, before moving
into journalism.
She has been a columnist at The Scotsman, and also
a regular contributor to Scotland on Sunday, The
Herald, Financial Times, and contributed to
John Peel’s Radio 4 programme, Home Truths.
Her first book of poems, Air for Sleeping Fish
(Bloodaxe), was shortlisted for the Scottish First Book of
the Year, and she was a prize-winner in The Daily Telegraph
Arvon International Poetry Competition. Baby was
published by Canongate in 2001. Ferguson received a Creative
Scotland Award in 2002 to work on The Human Genome: Poems
on the Book of Life and the resulting collection of poems
is now available on the web.
