~ Poetry Reading with Douglas Lipton ~

Douglas Lipton will read from Flora and Fauna of an Independent Scotland as well as other, more recent pieces which delve into the blackly comic underbelly of human experience. He is sure to balance his reading this evening with Songs for the Fallen Angel (a requiem for Lockerbie) as well as drawing on his mariscat collection, The Stone Sleeping Bag, The Outside World, Fairy Tales, Hale-Bopp Poems and other work.

Douglas Lipton writes in Scots and English, and there's always the danger that he might erupt into song as well. Ticket includes traditional Scottish snack food and remedying drink in honour of Mr R Burns, plus The Bakehouse Bowl of Fame... you have been warned! 'A tour-de-force... terse, irreverent and riddled with cheeky one, two and three-liners... (used) brilliantly to convey, sometimes lewdly, but always colourfully, a peculiar species of Scottish gallows humour.'
