Poetry Aberdeen, under its previous name of Dead Good Poets, was funded
by Aberdeen City Council to publish an online anthology of poetry by writers from
and associated with Aberdeen, as well as poets who visited the city to give readings.
This anthology was first published on the Dead Good Poets website in 2006,
and is preserved here as an archive.
