Gus Cairns, Joan's son, informs me that a selection of Joan's poetry is to be published posthumously. It will be a fitting tribute to one overflowing with joie de vivre who brought so much sunshine into the lives of others.
Joan Cairns will be remembered with great affection by all who knew her.

*3 of Joan's poems can be found at the side-blog POETRY2010
and 1 poem on the main Poet-in-Residence blog. Please enjoy.

Gus is so touched by all our blogging about Joan. Wouldn't she have been delighted with it all?
Her funeral is on friday at Askrigg church and we have all been told to wear bright colours. She has written the service herself - Joan to the very last.
Thanks for the news and also for the YouTube info.
Best wishes,
Gwilym
