StAnza 2010: Scotland's Poetry Festival

Wed, 17 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0000

Each festival focuses on two themes which weave around each other to give every StAnza its own unique flavour. Our first theme this year, Myth and Legend offers a more contemporary look at a subject that has long inspired and influenced poets - from classical Greek mythology to the stories of the Old Testament, fairy tales, Celtic and Norse legends. In keeping with this, in his lecture for StAnza 2010, Grevel Lindop will revisit Graves's The White Goddess, and our StAnza Masterclass invites submissions on myth and legend, to be considered by Moniza Alvi whose own most recent collection is Europa.

The second theme is a unique tribute to Festival Director Brian Johnstone who steps down in May 2010 after 10 years in post. We have specially invited one favourite artist, plus his personal ‘wish list' of poets, some new, some favourites from previous festivals, who will feature in the special strand of 'Director's Cut' readings which he will introduce.
