Jim & Pat's Glasgow West End Chat - Episode 63
Magi has had so many accolades and accomplishments that it would be impossible for me to list even a small portion of them here. She was the first Makar of the City of Stirling (for 500 years) and has held three Scottish Arts Council Creative Writing Fellowships and one Royal Literary Fund Writing Fellowship with the University of Paisley.
Magi was Writer in Residence with the Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow and Reader in Residence with Glasgow Women’s Library from 2012 - 2015.
Her work has won many prizes and is well loved by fellow writers and former students.
Magi's latest poetry collection, Washing Hugh MacDiarmid’s Socks is out now from Luath Press.
