This intriguing plaque can be found on the side of the 1895 former British Linen Bank on High Street in Glasgow. It reads: On this site stood the house in which the poet Campbell lived. An additional plate seems to have been added later with the text: born 1777, died 1844.

I finally found an inexpensive copy of George Mackay Brown’s early (1965) volume of poems, The Year of the Whale. The cover design conjures another era altogether, one when—it seems—the publishing of “living” poets was something to be remarked upon.
The Year of the Whale contains one of my favourite of Brown’s poems, The Poet, the text of which is in the 2nd image. I've always thought those last four lines truly haunting.

For anyone who might be wondering—what? no one was wondering?—the quotation which appears in my bio (“One thin cry…”) is from the #poem The Wreck of the Archangel by George Mackay Brown. Brown has been, for a long time now, an inspiration to me and a guiding lantern in the gloom.
