                    Catriona Yule is a poet, short story writer and playwright from Aberdeenshire.
                    Her work has been published on the Poetry Scotland website and in Northwords Now,
                    Pushing Out the Boat and The Eildon Tree. She is currently working
                    with Aberdeenshire ceramicist Anne Murray, exploring folklore inspired by George
                    Mackay Brown's poem, A Reel of Seven Fishermen. In April 2012, she was selected
                    for the Orkney Writer's Course at St Magnus International Festival allowing her
                    to continue her research into George Mackay Brown's life and work and giving her
                    an opportunity to collaborate with London-based composer Michael Taplin.
