Über den Autor
Katrina Porteous has lived on the Northumberland coast since 1987. Many of the poems in her first collection, The Lost Music (Bloodaxe Books, 1996), explore the Northumbrian fishing community. Katrina is actively involved in local history, recording the reminiscences of older people in the community, and also writes in Northumbrian dialect. She is President of the Northumbrian Language Society, and an ambassador for New Networks for Nature. She has worked on many collaborations with other artists, including public art for Seaham with sculptor Michael Johnson, the long poem The Wund an' the Wetter with piper Chris Ormston (1999), and the musical Tam Lin with composer Alistair Anderson (2000). Her most recent collaborations, with composer Peter Zinovieff, are Horse (2011), and Edge (2013), a poem in four moons with music incorporating sounds collected on space missions, broadcast on BBC Radio 4.
