Poems commissioned for the festival respond to coastal images

For Scotland’s Year of Coasts and Waters, StAnza has asked poets from across Scotland and Scandinavia for short texts responding to seas, rivers and our relationships with them. The resulting poems reveal the diversity of ways in which we engage with and respond to the sea.

Participants: Donald Adamson, Elspeth Brown, Linda Klakken, Poul Lynggaard Damgaard, Mane Manushev, Marion F. Morrison, Rachel Rankin, Laurna Robertson, and Julie-ann Rowell
