Harry F. Giles

Harry Josephine Giles is a Scottish writer and performer from Orkney, now based in Leith. Their work sits at the meeting point of poetry, performance, and politics, and they have built a reputation for writing that is bold in form while staying closely tuned to voice and place.

Alongside poetry, Giles works across performance and other creative forms, bringing a strong sense of sound and spoken rhythm to the page. Sources consulted during this search describe them as having an MA in Theatre Directing from East 15 Acting School and a PhD in Creative Writing from the University of Stirling, which fits neatly with the mix of theatrical energy and literary craft in their work.

For audiobook listeners, that blend is part of the appeal: Giles writes with an ear for how words live when they are heard. The result is writing that can feel intimate, surprising, and alive in performance.
