JUST READ THE POEMS! (Does what it says on the tin)

Our city is a nursery of versery and every fortnight(ish) Edinburgh49 will deliver a double dose of poems auld and new read by one of the city’s leading talents. Will the style and substance of each edition’s poems complement one another? Maybe. Will the format of JUST READ THE POEMS! evolve as we try new things? Probably. Will you be inspired by the captivating beauty of the spoken word? Definitely!

THIS WEEK…
