Media release: Storm chasers team up to celebrate George Mackay Brown’s centenary
A SEARCH has been launched to locate as many copies as possible of George Mackay Brown’s first collection of poems, as part of celebrations to mark the centenary of the writer’s birth.
Brown, who was born in October 1921, was a poet, author and dramatist, whose works reflect his roots in Orkney.
In 1954, just 300 copies of ‘The Storm and other poems’ were printed, at the poet’s own expense.
Now, BBC Radio Orkney and the George Mackay Brown Fellowship have teamed up to try and track down as many copies as possible, and hear the stories of how and where they’ve survived. ....
