Poetic Obituaries: While at Dundee, in the early 1970s [Geoffrey] Dutton

came into contact with the poet Anne Stevenson, then the university's writer-in-residence. Dutton was already the author of concise, often austere poetry which drew on his love of Scotland, its landscape and its people. She liked what he had written, and persuaded him to publish. The result was the collections 31 Poems (1977); Camp One (1978); Squaring the Waves (1986); The Concrete Garden (1991); and The Bare Abundance: Selected Poems 1975-2001 (2002).

Dutton saw no conflict between science and poetry.
