[New-Poetry] WorldPo: obscure Scotch poet

[Skip Fox]

Good story. I wonder about the poetry which the article implied was at least
better than his business endeavors. 

 

We don't even get a line. I find that very odd.

Readers of the BBC Scotland news website have helped solve the mystery of a
19th Century poet. 


The specialist Scottish International Relief (SIR) bookshop in Ayr appealed
for help after being given a volume of work by George Colburn. 


Since the article was published on Friday, shop manager Chris Moorhouse has
been inundated with offers of help. 

The information supplied has enabled him to piece together the Scottish
poet's life story.
