Poetry Propagation
A festival in Edinburgh without poetry would be like a tree with no leaves. Join us for an evening of poetry in The Gallery Bar, with Edinburgh's Makar Hannah Lavery, Marjorie Lofti, Shasta Hanif Ali, Clementine E. Burnley, Andrés N. Ordorica and the Scottish BPOC Writers Network. Poems will speak to the process of propagation in plant life, with parent poems branching off into new words, ideas and performances.
In-Person: Tues 27 June / 18:00 - 20:00 / The Gallery Bar
With BSL interpretation
Online: 28 - 29 June / Recording & transcript available following day

At this event, we played recorded poems from the Scottish BPOC Writers Network’s Audio Anthologies. These acted as the “parent poems” to the live poetry readings of the evening.
For licensing reasons, we have edited out the Audio Anthology poems from this event recording, however you can find all five poems on the Network’s Soundcloud, and we encourage you to listen along as you listen back to Poetry Propagation.
