Performer / Performance company

Alan Spence / Luath Press

Join Alan Spence – former Edinburgh Makar and author of the cult-classic Glasgow Zen and upcoming sequel A Wee Bit Zen – for conversation and short-form poetry from a trickster with words and a mesmerising performer of his own work. Haiku, found poems, sound poems, text poems, puns, one-liners, overheard word-on-the-street poems, everyday zen, timeless poems of the here and now – poignant, insightful and laugh-out-loud funny. 'Spence is a calm and necessary visionary' (Ali Smith). 'Poetry with the gloves off' (Liz Lochhead).
