Archie Buchanan – 'Fred' to family and friends – wrote the poems in this collection over a period of nearly 60 years. The earliest, Remembrance Day, he first drafted aged 19; the most recent, The One and Only, he composed in late summer of 2005, when he knew that he hadn’t long to live. The moods range from sombre to absurd, through themes of love and loyalty, religion, mystery, nature and the seasons.
The Making of Merlin's Star
Five were the points of Merlin's Star
And five lay his paths aslant it.
Five were his pilgrims who travelled far
And five his meinir, enchanted.
Abbey and church, cathedral and tower,
