PoetryLit! at StAnza, 2024
PoetryLit!, the monthly online poetry reading event founded by Milla Van Der Have and co-curated by myself. Now in our 4th year, it was great to have this 'stage' at StAnza, Scotland's International Poetry festival in St Andrews. The event was live at the Byre Theatre but also online as usual.
This event featured four of the winners in different categories of the Wigtown Poetry Prize, 2023.
