Colin was born in Edinburgh in 1942, and mostly lived in West Lothian before settling in Dunbar in 2000. His first poetry collection was Thirteen Ways of Looking at the Highlands (1996), followed by Seven Senses (2000). Both collections were published by diehard publishers of Callander and are now out of print. A chapbook - Mementoliths - was published in 2005. It too is out of print. A new diehard paperback - Sushi & Chips - was published in 2006, containing poems written since 1999. He has been widely published in a large number of literary and other magazines. He runs writing workshops and leads writing groups, designs and manages web sites, and continues to write poetry, fiction, essays and articles. Travel and photography are among his other interests. |
