Christopher Whyte is a Gaelic poet with many accolades. After a distinguished academic career teaching Scottish and Gaelic literature in Rome, Edinburgh and Glasgow, he moved to Budapest, Hungary in 2006, where he writes full-time. His work is characterised by its innovative, at times provocative, subject-matter, and by the resolute adoption of a European perspective.
