We loved running the book stall at StAnza, Scotland’s International Poetry Festival, again this spring - as poetry lovers, it’s a real joy to get to be part of it all! If you’re looking for a poetry gift for a loved one, here are some highlights from the 2025 programme. We even have a limited number of signed copies of Maryville by Joelle Taylor, AND poyums and poyums annaw by Len Pennie for sale!
The next festival will take place 13-15 March 2026, and we can’t wait to see what the programme holds in store!
