I was born in Edinburgh in 1942, and I now live in Dunbar. I love travelling, and it's natural
that the places I visit feature in my poetry. I have a scientific background, and that often informs
my outlook on the world. I run workshops, give readings, and publish poetry, while continuing
to write.

I was elected Makar to the Federation of Writers (Scotland) for 2010/11.

Now available from Red Squirrel Scotland. Sample poems on the Poems page
