An evening of poetry with four local poets:

A wall that Kate help build	Kate Armstrong: What she says about herself: I write about outdoor things mostly, and very slowly. I have lived up and down the east of Scotland for lots of years, belong to a writers' group called Scones, translate a bit and am working a bit on writing prose rather than poetry. Prefer poetry read aloud to the printed word.
Forbes Browne	Is a retired teacher who, while encouraging students to write (Poet WN Herbert and novelist James Meek are ex- pupils) only started writing himself relatively recently, with the Broughty Ferry Environmental Project Eco Poets group. He has contributed to two pamphlets by the Eco Poets, Inspired by Nature and Stories Older than the World, and has had work published in Poetry Scotland and New Writing in Scotland. His interests include the Scots language, walking, bird watching and real ale.
