A Verse of Poets

About the event

Join your host, Beth Cochrane (Creative Writing MSc alumna), for a glittering line-up of poets from across Scotland. From Scots Scrievers to Gaelic singers, Edinburgh Makars to Edwin Morgan Poetry Award-winners, tonight’s roster use their poetry – sometimes tender, sometimes uplifting, sometimes downright raucous – to explore everything from the journey of diaspora to the naming of unspeakable desires.

Featuring: Clementine E Burnley, Ceitidh Chaimbeul, Taylor Dyson, Hannah Lavery, Michael Mullen, and Andrés N Ordorica. You won’t want to miss this.

How to attend

This event is part of the Edinburgh International Book Festival. It is costed, and tickets are available through the Book Festival website.

Are you interested in English Literature at Edinburgh?

We offer a wide range of undergraduate programmes, taught masters, and research degrees, including a Masters by Research and a PhD. As an undergraduate, you will read works of literature written in English from around the world, and encounter a range of ideas about the nature and purpose of literary study.

Our courses explore the relationship between literary texts and the construction of national, international and imperial cultures. Working with colleagues in LLC and across the wider University, we are able to support postgraduate research which crosses boundaries between languages and disciplines.
