Oor Rab at Creative Burns - one week left!

If you haven't yet been to the Creative Burns exhibition in Kilmarnock, you've got just one more week left to see it.

And our own Rab Wilson, who has just completed his time as Robert Burns Writing Fellow for Dumfries & Galloway, has on display there a commisioned series of 12 poems for Creative Burns.

Described by one critic as 'a more toothsome appraisal of [Burns'] cultural, social and creative importance' Creative Burns features key manuscripts, letters in Burns' handwriting to colleagues and friends and a copy of the Kilmarnock Edition. The visual arts side of the exhibition includes Calum Colvin's new portrait of Robert Burns.

Creative Burns is in The Dick Institute, Elmbank Avenue, Kilmarnock, tel 01563 554902 or visit www.visiteastayrshire.com.
