Brian died in March 2007 after a long illness. He was unfailingly generous and supportive of the group and its poetry right up to the end.
We have vivid memories of sharing our last workshop with Brian at his most amiable and animated, outside on a warm October afternoon, the sun slanting low across the gardens, and bathing us all in late-summer yellow rays.
We miss him greatly.
