[SPL] August 24th: Kathleen Jamie and Lorraine Mariner at #edbookfest




Scottish Poetry Library Podcast show

Summary: We've been at the Edinburgh International Book Festival this past week, and caught up with two very different poets who have been involved with the events strand the SPL has curated together with Don Paterson. The first is Lorraine Mariner, who we caught up with after her event in the Spiegeltent. The second is award winning poet Kathleen Jamie, who reads some of her remarkable new work. We also mark the passing of Scotland's Makar, Edwin Morgan, and his former editor at Carcanet, SPL director Robyn Marsack, shares a few words about Eddie. Edwin Morgan was the top trend on Twitter last Thursday - something we think he'd have been very chuffed by. Presented by Ryan Van Winkle. Produced by Colin Fraser. Music by Ewen Maclean.
