This tender and personal memoir by the poet Joanna Ramsey of George
Mackay Brown gives an account of some aspects of the last eight
years of his life in Stromness, Orkney, and of the friendship
between them. It also provides a background to his poem 'A New
Child: ECL 11 June 1993' (included in the anthology Following a
Lark), which he wrote for Joanna's daughter. There are many small
details of George's day to day life in those last years that are
not included in any other account. Also included are an unpublished
poem written for Joanna, and a number of birthday acrostics written
for her and her daughter, Emma. In his final years George Mackay
Brown rarely travelled beyond Stromness, but many of his friends
visited him there; the book is also peopled by George's other
friends, and paints a portrait of a man who remained very dear and
important to others until his death and beyond it.
