SAC Sundial Award Winners 2008
Congratulations to Scottish poet Edwin Morgan, who has won the 2008 Scottish Arts Council Sundial Book of the Year award for his poetry collection A Book of Lives. His success was announced at the 2008 Borders Book Festival in Melrose, and the prize is worth £25,000.
Judges congratulated the book as "... a prodigious creative achievement by any standards... this is a book of deeply moving - and often startling - personal candour and directness."
The book was chosen from the four category winners previously announced, including Ali Smith's Girl Meets Boy in the Fiction Category, The Wild Places by Robert MacFarlane for Non Fiction, and poet Jane McKie's collection Morocco Rococo for First Book of the Year.

Macfarlane embarks on a series of journeys in search of the wildness that remains in the British Isles. At once a wonder voyage, an adventure story and a work of natural history, this text also tells a story of friendship and loss, mixing history, memory and landscape in a strange evocation of wildness and its importance.
