We were delighted to partner with Push the Boat Out Festival on this event! PTBO is an award winning festival with a growing year round presence, and a unique and vital part of Scotland’s arts ecology. It is Edinburgh’s first and only poetry festival, and one of only two in the whole of Scotland. Fresh, vibrant and innovative it strives to increase the diversity of poetry in Scotland – in form, cross-artform pollination, the voices platformed and those who feel welcomed as part of its audiences and participants.
