A few weeks ago I went to Edinburgh’s Scottish Poetry Library for the launch of John Glenday’s beautiful new book, Grain.
Edinburgh's poetry lovers braved the freezing rain to hear John read some of his powerful poems, and one was set to music and sung by the talented Kim Edgar. It was a wonderful evening, and the Poetry Library was the perfect venue in which to be ensconced, listening to John's resonant and moving poetry. Thanks so much to the Scottish Poetry Library and the Poetry Association of Scotland for organising such a fantastic event.

but somewhat disappointed not to see St Icks and St Onés (the patrons of those in plaster of Paris) not mentioned in that poem. ;<)
