Maureen Sangster

I have written in response to particular localities such as rivers and woodlands and created poetry inspired by conversations with folk in particular communities, drawing on memory, heritage and affection for place. I’m interested in where the past meets the present. Two streams of language run through my work: they are North East Scots and English.

I’ve recently retired from self-employment which was very varied. It included bibliotherapy workshops for Maggie’s Fife, being a Creative Scotland Reader in Residence at a mental health facility, running a crime fiction book group, and delivering workshops to a wide range of people, including those with mental health problems.

I have a love of drama which I would like to develop. So far I have written mini-plays for reading/performance and subsequent discussion. Topics have been Silver Surfers, Old Age, Female Friendship, The Suffrage Movement and Neighbourhood. I want to write longer theatrical pieces.

I love reading my work and also enjoy combining text with image as I’m an artist as well as a writer. I like doing cartoon type doodles, painting and collages.
