In a spectrum of voices across Scots and English, the poems in DWAMS concern themselves with the climate emergency and just transition, rising xenophobia, and with queer romance and sex, in a groundbreaking debut from North-East Scottish writer and poet Shane Strachan.

Shane shall be reading from his collection, accompanied by readings from fellow poet Stewart Sanderson. This is a free event, but please let us know if you are attending by reserving your place via the link below; Dwams will be available to purchase on the night.
