Pauline Prior-Pitt
Pauline Prior-Pitt’s ‘North Uist Sea Poems’ has won the prestigious Callum Macdonald Memorial Award for pamphlet poetry. The judges were unanimous in their decision and the award was presented by Lesley Duncan, poetry editor of The Herald, at a ceremony at the National Library of Scotland on 15 May 2006.
Between October 2004 and January 2005, Pauline visited the shore at Sollas beach, North Uist, and wrote about how the sea was on that particular day. The sequence finishes with poems about the dramatic storm that hit the islands on January 11th 2005.

It’s quick, it’s clear, it’s easy to find your way around. Everyone loves it. – Pauline Prior-Pitt.
