Scotland is enjoying a poetic renaissance with a new generation of poets interested in multiples, in complexity, in identity, and whose words you can witness in a special evening at London’s Kings Place on Thu 1 Feb.

Come and enjoy the witty, wonderful worlds of Michael Pedersen (prize-winning author of Boy Friends), Hannah Lavery (poet, playwright & Edinburgh Makar, writer of The Drift and Blood Salt Spring) and William (Billy) Letford (author of Dirt and From our own fire).

Scottish poetry: The Next Generation - a part of year-long series Scotland Unwrapped - celebrating Scottish music and spoken word culture.
