Joanna Ramsey's poetry and short fiction have appeared in Chapman, New Writing Scotland and other magazines and anthologies. Two pamphlet collections of poems have been published by the Galdragon Press, Glasgow: In Memory of George Mackay Brown (1998) and Walking on Hoy (2002). She lives in Orkney and also works as a copy editor for academic publishers.
'Joanna Ramsey has written a scrupulously honest, nuanced account
of her close friendship with George Mackay Brown. As well as
containing previously unpublished verse by this great Orcadian
poet, this book is full of hints and glints of the remarkable
cultural life of Brown's Stromness in the late twentieth
century.'
‘Refreshingly, Ramsey reveals a kind and relaxed private man.’
*The Skinny*
‘In several glowing, loving passages she honours art and artist
alike.’
*The Herald*
