Rab Wilson and John Burns reading at Gracefield Arts Centre this Wednesday

We're looking forward to 7.30pm Wednesday night (that's the 2nd) when Rab Wilson and John Burns will read from their new collections from glorious Roncadora Press. John Burns will introduce 'Open Sky', richly illustrated by Roncadora, and Rab Wilson, Dumfries & Galloway's Burns Writing Fellow, will read from 'Ye're there Horace! Horace's first buik o satires owerset and adaptit into Scots'.

Gracefield Arts Centre Gallery 2 is hosting an exhibition of Roncadora's new work until 12 March. Hugh Bryden, artist, poet and publisher, has created an extraordinarily various range of work for his publications since the imprint began in 2005. Roncadora Press pamphlets have swept away the Callum Macdonald Memorial Awards and were shortlisted in the even more prestigious Michael Marks Award.

The Cafe makes a great place for a reading and a glass of wine, and these poets will take you all the way from blackly humorous satire through aching beauty via the meaning of humanity... Free, as well. Hope to see you there!
