We’re delighted to bring together the former Edinburgh and current Glasgow Makars to share their latest books, both powerful meditations on how landscapes, cycles of time, and traditions interact with the shifting dynamics of self and relationships. In Hannah Lavery’s new collection, Everything Everyday, we are gifted a year of vigils, myths and everyday moments – poems that move between grief and tenderness, protest and ritual, survival and love. Jim Carruth’s powerful verse novel, Knockan, is set in Assynt and draws together many threads of the natural environment to tell the moving story of an isolated crofter and her daughter. Chaired by Glasgow-based poet and Project Co-ordinator at the Scottish Poetry Library, Sam Tongue.
