A Poetry Feast of Mythical Beasts

Hollie McNish Calum Rodger Anita Mackenzie Julie Rea Ceitidh Campbell Katie Ailes Dave Hook

Saturday 5th November

6:00 pm - 6:50 pm

Dissection Room

Push the Boat Out has commissioned seven innovative poets to reimagine some of Scotland’s most famous and infamous mythical beasts for this event, A Poetry Feast of Mythical Beasts. Continuing a rich, global tradition of new writing which retells traditional takes of old, these fresh and dynamic perspectives pull our selkies and fairies into the twenty-first century. With Hollie McNish, Dave Hook, Katie Ailes, Ceitidh Campbell, Anita Mackenzie, Julie Rea and Calum Rodger, expect poetry which challenges the old stories, refreshing rap, and maybe even some dance.

Each poem will be supported by illustrations from our partners artists Neil and Charley from design company Púca Printhouse, creators of the beautiful map, ‘The Mythical Beasts of Scotland’.

This event has been supported by the Gaelic Books Council, the Year of Stories 2022 Community Stories Fund, delivered in partnership between VisitScotland and Museums Galleries Scotland with support from National Lottery Heritage Fund thanks to National Lottery players.

Ao free nline livestream will be available here and on our FaceBook page during the festival.

£10.00/£8.00
