Poetry Doubles: Tom Leonard and Angus Macmillan

Monday 20th August, 7pm
Robert Burns Film Theatre, Dumfries



Following on from Daljit Nagra and Fiona Russell's wonderful start to the Poetry Doubles season at the Robert Burns Film Theatre, it's time to welcome Tom Leonard and Angus Macmillan for a not-to-be-missed night of poetry in Dumfries.

Tom Leonard is one of Scotland's most acclaimed poets. His inventiveness with spoken and written language has paved the way for a whole new generation of writers. His collections access to the silence and intimate voices are available from Etruscan Books.

Angus Macmillan makes a welcome return to Poetry Doubles with his dry wit and keen sense of place, reading poems in both English and Gaelic.
