Reel Festival: A reception and readings at The Bakehouse for poets from Iraq and around Scotland.
Reel
Iraq featuring Iraqi poetry in Arabic and with brand new translations
and readings from John Glenday, Jen Hadfield, William Letford and
Krystelle Bamford. Reel Festival will also present specially
commissioned work by some of your favourite poets from Dumfries and
Galloway including Tom Pow, Liz Niven, Hugh McMillan, Angus MacMillan,
Alan McClure and The Solway Poets. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to
hear Iraqi poets, to engage, to ask questions and to enjoy the riches
harvested from translation.
I do
know the effort and the commitment it takes to build an audience and to
create the atmosphere you have at The Bakehouse. I was impressed by the
obvious talent but more so by the fact that people were obviously
writing for the occasion, or using it certainly as a forum where they
could share their work in a creative environment. That’s a creation.Tom Pow.
