We are a collective of poets with national and international reputations, all based near the east coast of Scotland. We believe deeply in the importance of our artform to the culture, and we seek to foster the ideals of excellence as practitioners, curiosity as readers, and generosity as teachers. We also believe in the equal importance of spiritual, literary, practical and technical approaches to the making of a poem.
