Poetry Doubles
Matthew Sweeney & Mike Smith
Robert Burns Centre Film Theatre
Monday 24th September 7.00pm
Tickets £7.00 (£5.00 concession) from andrew@dgaa.net
Anyone who was at both the Poetry Doubles reading or the Masterclass last week knows what special events they were. Laura Helyer and George Szirtes took us to new and unexpected places, and the Masterclass was one of the sharpest and most helpful poetry sessions I've ever been present at. Those who brought their poems along went away with plenty of food for thought.
And there's more this week.
Surprise will be the order of the evening. Irish poet Matthew Sweeney comes to us to mark the publication of his new collection 'Black Moon'. Matthew's poems are surreal, strange and very beautiful. Cumbrian Mike Smith is a perfect accompaniment. One of the students on Dumfries very own MLitt course, at the GU Crichton Cvampus, Mike has a unique way of looking at the world.
