Edinburgh

Edinburgh’s first ever chapter of Noc Literatury will turn the fantastic Scottish Poetry Library into a smörgåsbord of European literature, with short talks, flash fiction, a poetry cafe and a panel discussion. Drop in for free and while away the evening with words from across Europe including: Czech academic and journalist Jan Čulík looking at the work of Emil Hakl; writer and broadcaster Peter Mackay exploring contemporary Gaelic stories and playwright Clare Duffy telling us more about ANA, a – daringly bilingual play which she co-wrote with Pierre Yves Lemieux. There will also be the opportunity to order a poem – from Romania, Slovenia and Spain – from our ’Poetry Cafe‘, part of the Scottish Poetry Library’s The Written World project, and to dip into the wonderful books surrounding you.

Produced by the Edinburgh UNESCO City of Literature Trust in partnership with the Scottish Poetry Library.
