I met Brian and his wife through our seatree buisiness and immediately liked him. I also sensed a deep resonance with much of his work and the concerns and direction of much of my own writing. I tend to use spiritual language, whereas he uses economic language and concepts, but there is not a lot of difference between the two. Both deal with complex uncertainties, at best steered towards goodness by love.

Brian is a director of The centre for thriving places, and the Wellbeing alliance for Scotland. His book of economic poetry is available from Amazon here.

Brian kindly offered us some work for our advent proost project, but we seem to have had an upload failure. When I finally got to listen to them, they seemed to relavant that I wanted to share them anyway…

Here they are.
