Iain Crichton Smith

Article Abstract:

Poet Iain Crichton Smith grew up in a small village near Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. He was introduced to poetry at the Nicolson Institute, and became particularly influenced by Eliot and Auden. He taught at the High School in Oban, but from 1955 began to establish a reputation as a poet. His first novel, 'Consider the Lilies,' was published in 1968. He was particularly interested in detective fiction, but his own fiction was simple and directly written.
