Welcome back to Poetry Doubles! Daljit Nagra and Fiona Russell launch the return of the acclaimed reading series, which pairs international poets with established and emerging writers from Dumfries & Galloway.
Daljit Nagra is one of poetry’s new young stars. He explores his Sikh Punjabi background in poetry that is both rich and funny, using a hybrid language that is part English, part Punjabi. His first collection ‘Look We Have Coming to Dover’ was published to great acclaim this year.
Fiona Russell's background in agriculture, conservation and scientific and natural history illustration greatly influence her writing. Her poems have been published in Markings, the journals of the John Muir Trust and Scottish Wildlife Trust, and in Crichton Writers anthologies.
Tickets £7 (£5) from DGAA on 01387 253383 or andrew@dgaa.net. More on Poetry Doubles 2007 here.
