Very sorry to report that Douglas Dunn has passed away. He was the finest Scottish poet of the post-war period. Dougie was also someone we knew and loved as a dear friend, mentor and teacher, and he will be deeply missed.

The Finnieston Crane in Glasgow at sunset this evening. This 53 metre tall titan was constructed in 1928 to lift Glasgow-built steam locomotives into the holds of ships to be transported all over the world. #glasgow #architecture #crane #sunset #glasgowtoday #glasgowatnight #nightphotography

Just saw a poetry collection sub open, with a submission fee of £38. Has everyone gone mad?
