Flood Alert - Ian Crockatt

Ian Crockatt’s poetic landscape is rich and varied. It ranges over the widest geography of human concerns and emotions. A Crockatt poem is both intense and emotionally compact. He takes on any subject, leaving a well-wrought poem which has withstood the fierce scrutiny of his own sharp West Coast sailor’s eye. His deep and sympathetic concern for people is matched by an unerring insight into the technique of poetry, without sacrificing emotional impact. He works as a senior social worker in Aberdeenshire.
