VALERIE GILLIES, the first woman Makar (Poet Laureate) of Edinburgh, writes poems that are beloved in Scotland, and beyond.  She is the author of ten poetry collections, the most recent of which, The Spring Teller, explores the sacred wells and springs of Celtic history.  As reported in The Scotsman newspaper, "Valerie Gillies writes like the wind and jinks like a hare in the fields of language."
