To Anna

whose enthusiasm for everything is endless

... and I

asked of the rose only more rose, the violet

more violet

(Kathleen Raine)

And to Henry Mair, Sam Gilliland, and

the other organisers of the

Scottish International Open Poetry Competition,

for the encouragement they have given

to me and so many other poets.
