Poet in Residence
A collection of Reflective Poems by Eila Webster
Born in 1925, Eila Webster has spent her entire life living in Westmuir. Blessed with a fine memory, Eila was
encouraged to write us a regular monthly poem which we featured on our website starting at Christmas in 2014.
Since then Eila has kept on writing for us and we are now in our 5th year of capturing this wonderful collection
of her poetry for all to enjoy !
As well as her poems listed below, you can also read about Eila the Pianist, the Poet, the Performer, the
Published Writer and multiple Prize Winner as she recalls local people and memorable events decade by decade.
Now 95 years young, this is a fascinating and poignant personal account of a lifetime in Westmuir and is not to
be missed.
