Henry Marsh was born in Broughty Ferry, Dundee in 1944. He now lives in Midlothian. His working life has been spent teaching English – with a bit of philosophy. His Ph.D thesis is a study of the modes of imagination. He began writing poetry in 2000 following the death of a friend, a Gaelic Bard, Donald MacDonald of South Lochboisdale. Two collections of his work have so far been published.

A First Sighting

A Turbulent Wake

Henry Marsh will be reading at the Edinburgh International Book Festival on 12th August 2008.
