StAnza: Afterword 2009
Photo: Rob McDougall/Homecoming ScotlandAll the fanfares have died down, the poets and participants have safely made it home, the critics have packed away their laptops and the head of the Bard is long dowsed – yes, StAnza 2009, the Homecoming StAnza, is over. But with its plethora of events, its record breaking attendance and its renowned atmosphere and buzz, there was more than ever for our podcaster, our photographers and our reviewers to respond to. Links below will take you to the ten packed sections of the 2009 Photo Gallery, to five days worth of festival podcasts, to a selection of our best media reviews and coverage, and to downloads of participants’ responses to the amazing experience that was StAnza 2009.
