Gies a Scots Poem Day

Scots poetry responses to Hugh MacDiarmid's portrait by Calum Colvin

 

The Scottish Poetry Library is the nation's bookshelf of poetry. We operate a free borrowing service and a programme of creative writing, reader development and audience engagement activities.

 

The Scottish Poetry Library will commission a dozen new works by poets writing in Scots to celebrate both RSA200 and the centenary of Hugh MacDiarmid's poem, A Drunk Man Looks at a Thistle.
