Elizabeth Rimmer's headshot

I write, edit and review poetry. I am a member of the Scottish Centre for Geopoetics, the Federation of Scottish Writers, Forth Valley Writers and The Scottish Writers Centre. I have published three collections of poetry: Wherever We Live Now (2011), The Territory of Rain (2015), and Haggards (2018), all published by Red Squirrel Press.

I write about weather, the human identity, traditions and relationship to the landscape, plants and birds, crafts and creativity, grief, and social and environmental upheaval.
