Tishani Doshi and Len Pennie

An evening showcasing the best in contemporary poetry with award-winning poets Tishani Doshi and Len Pennie. Doshi performs a new piece combining poetry and moving image. Her most recent collection Egrets, While War is a lyric guide to grief and resilience, examining environmental loss, ancestral memory and more, with birds appearing throughout as subjects, symbols and messengers.

Pennie, who writes in both Scots and English, brings her charismatic presence and powerful Scots language delivery. She presents work from poyums annaw, a defiant and trailblazing collection of work that tackles ideas of patriarchy, gender-based violence and injustice.
