StAnza Podcast 2010 19th March
In Friday's edition of the StAnza Festival podcast, we feature an excerpt from Thursday's StAnza lecture by Grevel Lindop as well as choice selections from the Younger Poets' Showcase event featuring Swithun Cooper, Catriona Lexy Campbell and Andreas Unterweger. We also have the pleasure to include another of Brian Johnstone's Director's Cut events featuring Grevel again - this time with his poet hat on - and award winning poet Jean Sprackland. StAnza podcast supremo Al Innes catches up with our artist in resident Jay Bernard and we finish up with the StAnza writer in residence Kei Miller reading from his as yet unpublished collection "A Light Song of Light".

Stanza Poetry Festival Podcasts
Each festival focuses on two themes which weave around each other to give every StAnza its own unique flavour.Our first theme for 2011 is Timepiece. Taking as a starting point the vibrant and significant history of Scotland, in 2011 StAnza will engage with the dynamic between verse and the recorded and unrecorded past, seminal moments from poetry and the daily routine of nations and communities, those local and those distant in space and time, as well as individual family histories. As part of this, in the 100th anniversary year of the birth of the great Scottish Gaelic poet Somhairle MacGill-Eain (Sorley MacLean), we will have a focus on Gaelic and present events to mark that occasion, including a special musical performance in partnership with The Sorley Maclean Trust, the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and the Music Centre at St Andrews University.Our second theme, The Poets’ Ark, will set loose around St Andrews a whole menagerie of animal poems, looking at the substantial contribution of our fellow creatures to poetry past and present. We shall consider how in their work poets set about capturing our complex relationship with nature, exploring the tensions between wilderness and captivity, extinction and survival.See our website www.stanzapoetry.org for more information.Join Podchaser to...
