Biographical History
Medbh McGuckian was born in 1950 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Queen's University, Belfast, in 1972 and earned her Masters in Arts from the same institution two years later. McGuckian won the National Poetry Competition prize in 1979 for "The Flitting," and she published her first two collections of poetry, Single Ladies: Sixteen Poems and Portrait of Joanna, in 1980. Among her most recent collections are Had I a Thousand Lives, The Book of the Angel, and The Currach Requires No Harbours. In addition to being one of Ireland's foremost poets, McGuckian has also served as the editor of Fortnight Literary Magazine and has held numerous academic appointments, including serving as the Writer-in-Residence at her alma mater, Queen's University Belfast, and as a Creative Writing Lecturer at the Seamus Heaney Centre for Poetry there. McGuckian has also translated the work of several poets of different nationalities; notably, McGuckian and Eilean Ni Chuilleanain translated the poetry of Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill from Gaelic to English for The Water Horse (2000).
