Maoilios Caimbeul is a Gaelic poet who lives on Skye, where he was born in 1944. After graduation from Edinburgh University, where his Gaelic tutor was the legendary William Matheson, Maoilios became a Gaelic teacher in Mull and later in Gairloch. Since retiring from teaching in 2004, he has been busy writing for schools, editing and doing residencies – including a period as writer-in-residence at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig in 2008, where he is currently working as a creative writing tutor.
Mark O. Goodwin was born in Devon in 1960 and studied at the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth, and City University, in the Department of Arts Policy and Management. After a brief spell doing a variety of jobs in London, he left to live in Scotland. He has lived for fourteen years on the Isle of Skye, where he worked for the Arts Centre An Tuireann, and was appointed as the gallery's Literature Development Officer shortly before its closure.
