Judith Taylor's Local Colour will be published in February 2010.
She comes from Perthshire and is now based in Aberdeen. She studied English and
Mediaeval History at St Andrews and until recently worked with IT in libraries,
which allowed her plenty of scope to use her Anglo-Saxon vocabulary. She is
currently studying for an MSc in Information Technology at Aberdeen University.
Her poetry has been published in magazines including New Writing Scotland,
Poetry Scotland, MsLexia and The Rialto, and her first chapbook collection,
Earthlight, was published by Koo Press in 2006. She has appeared at
Shore Poets, Wordfringe and most recently at StAnza and with the
Stanza Roadshow at the Durham Book Festival. She is a member of the
editorial team at Pushing Out the Boat magazine.
