Books & Spoken Word
Caroline Bird and Rachel McCrum
Inky Fingers & Raise The Bar present a night of spoken word to launch two new poetry collections.
The First Blast to Awaken Women Degenerate (Freight Books, £9.99) is the eagerly anticipated debut collection from the award-winning Rachel McCrum. She is recognised as one of Scotland’s highest profile poets and performers and co-founder of cult spoken word night Rally & Broad.
In These Days of Prohibition (Carcanet, £9.99) is Caroline Bird’s fifth collection. Lemn Sissay says: “What an original captivating and spellbinding voice. Bird is fearless like ‘the girl who dropped her ice-cream down a volcano and leaped in after it’. She is dangerous and witty too with a rare quality of imagination. This is a wonder.”
