Laura Fyffe, poet

Laura was among the poets and musicians celebrating 150 years of the Smith Museum this evening.
 Her poem used the allegory of a goddess to represent the city.
The following is an extract.:
“She has no angels to sing of her,
Only her daughters, her sons:
Born of strife, hardened by history,
Softened by the pulsing of air on her fields
Awed by her slow-beating heart.
 Laura describes herself as a “writer with a low boredom threshold. Poet, novelist, publisher, writing mentor, workshop facilitator, teacher, mum. Lapsed parachutist.”

 On a wet, dreich Scottish night it was good to see a large number of people brave the inclement weather to listen to an evening of poetry.
