The St. Andrews based yearly poetry festival will soon be upon us!
The programme for StAnza 2011 is now online. I'm really excited about going especially since I missed it this year. My plan is to head up on the Friday and stay until the Sunday.
After a quick look at the events, the one's I'll be hoping to get tickets for will be the intimate reading with John Burnside, the Marilyn Hacker / Paul Farley reading, a workshop with Claire Crowther on The Fatrasie (whatever that is, but a workshop with Claire Crowther on anything poetry-wise will be fantastic!), lunch and poetry with Hugh McMillan (Shug!) event, the Selima Hill and Philip Gross reading, and the Ciaran Carson Masterclass. Does this not sound like a fantastic weekend?!

Wow, you're so on the ball with this! Lunch with shug? Does one have to pay?
You can have breakfast with him too!
yes and he's pricey ;) lol
Sounds like a fantastic weekend! I'd love to sit in on that class with Ciaran Carson. (The word verification is "meth". How's that for a post about poets???)
I'm (fearfully) contemplating sending a poem in for the Carson masterclass...
meth, is that myth with an american accent? ;)
