Aoife Lyall is a poet, writer and teacher originally from Dublin but now based in the Highlands.
Her debut poetry collection, Mother, Nature, was released on Bloodaxe Books to critical acclaim last year. This Sunday, Aoife hosts a free poetry workshop at Lyth Arts Centre as part of this year’s Northern Stories Festival.
