Put a spring in your step at our lunchtime Story Café, as we travel the world, one tale at a time. Bring along a bite to eat and relax as we enjoy stories and poems from some of the best women writers world-wide.
We’re thrilled to welcome poets Vicki Husband and Theresa Muñoz, who will be reading from their debut collections, published by Vagabond Voices.
Vicki’s award-winning work is as inspired by quantum physics as it is by domestic drama, and her poetry is infused with sympathy, humour and an idiosyncratic eye for detail. Born in Canada, Theresa’s work reflects her family’s experience of emigration over several generations, and takes a wry look at technology through the eyes of someone who grew up as part of the Facebook generation.
Our Story Café Specials are an intimate way of hearing some of the freshest voices from Scottish writing. Specials this Spring are: Owersettin’ – Three poets, three languages of Scotland on Thursday 23rd February, Menstruation Myths and Period Drama! on Thursday 23rd March, Fiona Macintosh on Thursday 27th April, and Vicki Husband and Theresa Munoz on Thursday 4th May. Find out all about Story Cafés this Spring here.
We love to see new faces around our table, so pull up a chair, grab a cuppa and rediscover the joy of being read to.
