Koo Press Poetry presents
Laughter |
Douglas Kynoch will share a little humour from welcome moments to uninvited guests. |
Love |
Maureen Ross lends some of her intimate observations on relationships and life. |
Lochnagar |
Brian Lawrie wanders through the rugged beauty of the Cairngorm landscape. |
|
|
Douglas Kynoch is an Aberdonian. He has worked for Grampian TV and BBC TV. His chapbook Uninvited Guests was published in 2004 by Koo Press. He reads his elegant work regularly at Books and Beans with great style. |
|
|
Maureen Ross was born and brought up in the North-East of Scotland and has written poetry for most of her life. Some of it has seen the light of day in recent years in Pushing Out the Boat and Storm. Koo Press published a chapbook of her work Day Moth in 2006. She is a member of Huntly Writers and through this group has been involved in various poetry readings and performances. Readers of last year's biographical note will be pleased to note that her dog has now stopped eating the house (however she is having to get a new kitchen) and the grandchildren and doing fine. |
|
|
Brian Lawrie was born in Aberdeen and continues to live there. He is married with two sons. His parents fostered an early enthusiasm for the hills of Scotland and he has walked and climbed since, particularly in the Cairngorms. He hopes his poems will reach out to others who feel the magic of a place, wherever that may be. |
