Women Poets of the Borders


Make the trip to the Scottish Poetry Library in Edinburgh to hear four Women Poets of the Borders reading from their new chapbooks published by Selkirk Lapwing Press. The reading is at 2pm on Saturday 16 February at the Scottish Poetry Library in Crichton's Close off the Royal Mile.

Vivien Jones lives in Powfoot in Dumfries & Galloway. She is one of the driving forces behind the Crichton Writers, and in 2007 made her second appearance at the region's much praised Poetry Doubles series. Her dramatic writing has been performed around the region, and her poems and stories have been published in magazines and anthologies including New Writing Scotland and the Scotsman Orange Competition anthology.
