Lights Off The Quay - pt1 (A L Kennedy)
We commissioned and published new stories and poems from four of the finest Scottish writers: A L Kennedy, Janice Galloway, John Burnside and Don Paterson. Lights Off The Quay, our first publication of new writing, is the result. A sold-out event at the Book Festival in 2008 showcased the work and you can view each author's readings below along with an introduction. The project also involved an exchange with Norwegian writers from Stavanger 2008 European Capital of Culture.
First up is celebrated and unique writer A L Kennedy.
