Lord Gawain Douglas
Formal education (which
Gawain studiously ignored) always took second place to that provided
by the mountains, rivers and forests – the mystic Welsh country
inspired his early poetic imaginings.
He is the author of 'Fortuna', a collection of poetry. This collection, "Fortuna", is a distillation of his poetry from the last thirty-six years, from the earliest poems, written on Osea Island, Essex, aged twenty-two, up to the present time. Candid, profoundly personal and at times formally experimental, these poems are never less than engaging and more than worthy of the Douglas name.
