Aoife Lyall

 

Aoife Lyall is an award-winning poet who has been writing and publishing for almost a decade. Since 2015, Aoife Lyall has established herself as a poet of national and international value. Awarded a Scottish Emerging Artist Residency by Cove Park in 2020, her poetry has been shortlisted in competitions across the Uk and Ireland, and published in many of their most prestigious newspapers, journals, and magazines.

 

Aoife’s first poetry collection Mother, Nature (Bloodaxe Books 2021) was shortlisted for the Scottish First Book Award and deals with the joys and tragedies of pregnancy and early motherhood. This work has been described as 'daring', 'heart-rending' and 'staggeringly tender'.  Her second collection, The Day Before, which records the milestones of childhood as influenced by the pandemic, received significant funding from the National Lottery through Creative Scotland and will be published by Bloodaxe Books in 2024. Originally from Dublin, Aoife lives in Inverness with her family.
