Rab and his new book go to StAnza!


Rab Wilson will star at StAnza this week, with me as his trusty bagcarrier and blogger...
On Friday our Dumfries & Galloway Burns Writing Fellow is billed as one of the highlights of this year's StAnza when he'll introduce the screening of his poetry documentary. Rab's produced a film charting his personal response to the rise and fall of coal mining and the impact it has had on local communities and their landscapes.
And on Saturday he'll be launching his new collection 'A Map for the Blind', from Luath, and he'll read with
George Nakhutsrishvili. Here's the smallest ever photo of 'A Map for the Blind', which is recommended to you by SPL's Reading Room http://www.readingroom.spl.org.uk/poetry_issues/issue_18.htm
