Scottish Poetry Library Book Group: Love and Desire

Scottish Poetry Library
5 Crichton's Close, Edinburgh
£5, £3 concessions.

What makes a good love poem? Why do we get poetic when feeling romantic? Using Antonia Fraser's anthology Scottish Love Poems we'll discuss how poets write about falling in (and out) of love. And to round things off, we’ll also dip into Handfast, the Scottish Poetry Library’s own anthology of poems for weddings – just in case that Valentine’s tease develops into a full-blown proposal...
This is our monthly poetry book group series, led by Julie Johnstone of the SPL. Join us for a one-off session, or come regularly, for a glass of wine and a lively, in-depth discussion of some of the best poetry books being published today.
