What Place for Poetry in Politics?

Saturday 25 August, 15:30-16:30, Committee Room 3, FREE

Aonghas MacNeacail, Janet Paisley and George Gunn - highly regarded writers, poets, playwrights and broadcasters - are invited to discuss political poetry and its relevance today. Does poetry have a place in contemporary political dialogue? Political song has moved nations and political poems can carry a message worldwide. But does it matter and to what effect? The session will be chaired by Jean Urquhart MSP.
