Zoë Skoulding is a poet whose work also encompasses translation, editing, sound-based vocal performance, literary criticism and teaching creative writing. Her work has been included in several UK anthologies, translated into eighteen languages and presented widely at international festivals.
She is Senior Lecturer at Bangor University, where her research is focused on urban space, contemporary women's poetry and translation.[1] She has been involved in several collaborative poetry translation projects, including Metropoetica,[2] focusing on poetry of the city, and has translated the Selected Poems of Luxembourgish poet Jean Portante from French.
Her music collaborations include the psychogeographical collective Parking Non-Stop and sound art/poetry performances with Alan Holmes.[3]
As Editor of Poetry Wales.[4] since 2008 she has maintained the magazine's international focus as well as broadening the magazine's scope to include more experimental forms of poetry.[5]
She has written lyrics for Welsh musicians Rheinallt H Rowlands and David Wrench, with whom she also played bass, and has performed with "anglo-welsh kosmische supergroup" The Serpents.
Personal life
Skoulding was born in Bradford, United Kingdom in 1967. Having previously lived in East Anglia, India and Belgium, Zoë Skoulding now lives in north Wales with her husband, the musician Alan Holmes.
