About this event

Join Open Book and get Well Versed!


This month we're reading and discussing poems by Daljit Nagra ahead of a special event with the poet next week in partnership with StAnza International Poetry Festival.

Open Book aims to be a safe space for all our participants and Lead Readers. This means our groups should be a place in which everyone feels welcome, respected and comfortable. We ask that you follow CARE (confidentiality, attention, respect, enjoy) and the Safe Spaces Framework each time you join a session. You can read the Space Spaces Framework here.

Participants who arrive 15+ minutes late may not be admitted.

No experience necessary, all welcome, ages 16+.

Organised by

We organise and run weekly shared reading sessions for a diverse range of community and public participants across Scotland. Part of a book and a poem are read aloud during these relaxed and informal sessions, with an Open Book Lead Reader on hand to help guide the discussion. We regularly run creative writing sessions for our readers, using the material the group is reading as inspiration to create new writing.
