Beag Horn

Beag moved to Glasgow from England when she was nineteen years old and has spent her entire adult life in Scotland. She now lives in South Ayrshire and works as a front of house Usher at the Conservatoire in Glasgow. Beag achieved a degree in Acting and Creative Writing in 2013, became a professional actor, and went on to study poetry for her MLitt at Stirling University in 2019, under Kathleen Jamie. She has had poems published in several anthologies, including the Edwin Morgan Centenary Collection (Speculative Books, 2020), From Glasgow to Saturn journal (issues 44 and 47) and Sea Change (Federation of Writers (Scotland), 2022). In 2021 she home-produced 23 daily podcasts of her own poetry for the PBH Free Fringe in Edinburgh, and in 2023 Beag was supported, through a staff opportunity at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, to research methods of erasure poetry and to produce her first pamphlet of original work. Beag is interested in poetry as a means to enhanced wellbeing, and in experimenting with various forms of found and visual poetry.
