Calling all ye poetry scamps: join us for the launch of a new Tapsalteerie anthology on Burns Night (25th January).
Sleekit: Contemporary poems in the Burns stanza
Sleekit: Contemporary poems in the Burns stanza, edited by Lou Selfridge, collects recent poetry in the form by some of the most exciting poets writing in Scotland today. Here are poems which conform to the structure of the Burns stanza alongside poems which seek to stretch and twist it; poems in Scots, English, and JavaScript; poems on topics as diverse as buffalypso, sex toys, and Robert Burns himself. The work in Sleekit shows the vital role the Burns stanza plays in contemporary Scottish poetry.
Joining us to read we have Stephen Dornan, Roshni Gallagher, Josie Giles, David Kinloch, Simon Lamb, Iain Morrison, Jeda Pearl, Calum Rodger, Maria Sledmere, Gill Shaw, Stewart Sanderson & Kate Tough, with an introduction from Sleekit editor Lou Selfridge too!
