Soutar, William (1898-1943: poet)
William Soutar was born in Perth, Perth Kinross, Scotland, on 28 April 1898 . He was educated at Perth Academy before entering the Navy. He then attended the University of Edinburgh, graduating in 1923 by which time he had already published his first book of poetry. Due to a form of spondylitis contracted during his military service he became increasingly crippled and after an unsuccessful operation in 1930 he was confined to bed for more than thirteen years until his death on 15th October 1943.
As early as 1923, inspired and encouraged by Hugh MacDiarmid (1892-1978), Soutar had begun to write poems in Scots, and he was further stimulated in this direction by the arrival in 1927, shortly before her sixth birthday, of his parents' adopted daughter, Evelyn, a distant relative who had been orphaned in Australia. Soutar became her companion, both at work and at play, as his diaries reveal. A happy result was the book, appropriately dedicated'To Evelyn', Seeds in the Wind: Poems in Scots for Children (1933).
