Liz Lochhead is a Scottish poet, playwright, translator and broadcaster whose work spans poetry, theatre and musical collaboration. Trained at the Glasgow School of Art, she first came to attention in the 1970s with poetry collections and soon extended her work to the stage, producing plays such as Mary Queen of Scots Got Her Head Chopped Off and notable adaptations — including a Scots-language Tartuffe and an award-winning version of Medea. From 2005 to 2011 she served as Glasgow’s Poet Laureate and from 2011 to 2016 she held the office of Makar, the national poet of Scotland, roles that strengthened her cultural and public influence. Her poetry is characterized by a lively use of spoken language and feminist themes; she has also worked with musicians, collaborating with artists such as Michael Marra and with contemporary bands. Over the course of her career she has received major honours, including the Saltire Society Scottish Book of the Year and, in 2015, the Queen’s Gold Medal for Poetry. She is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, holds several honorary doctorates and was awarded a lifetime achievement prize in 2023. Politically, she is known for her republicanism, support for Scottish independence and public stands on international cultural causes.
