Brian Johnstone is a weel kent poet and writer, Edinburgh born but resident in Fife for over 30 years. In the changeable firmament of Scotlit he has been a constant, well respected feature, as a poet, performer, collaborator and organiser. He has also recently published an acclaimed memoir.
The poem here is "As We Watch" from his last full collection "Dry Stone Work", Arc Publications in 2014. It is dedicated to his wife and recalls the moment they met 50 years ago now. As he says "It is both a love poem and a nature poem, and will, I hope, bring the fields and open air to anyone cooped up inside just now."
Brian's books are available on his website at http://brianjohnstonepoet.co.uk/publications
