POETRY

Andrew always loved poetry, with a particular appreciation for Housman and Betjeman. In his twenties he wrote several verses which were eventually compiled into an anthology titled Minor Saints and Fertile Soils, of which several hand-written and hand-typed copies exist, individually prepared and distributed to various family and friends.

As a surprise for Burns Night 2026, his son David published a beautiful hardback edition of said book, on general release for the first time.
