Can't think of a better way to close out this year's Edinburgh International Book Festival than in the company of Michael Pedersen & Jackie Kay. I think everyone there was given succour, could've stayed for hours at the round table. Thank you both so much! Picador Books

With the glorious Edinburgh Book Festival having drawn to a close, it’s time for a slice of Glasgow. Tomorrow 27/08 I’m reading alongside the literary supremos of the MLitt at University of Strathclyde at the CCA. It’s free with just a spit of free tickets left. 🎫 eventbrite.com/e/the-strathcl…

Ep 5 of the Lantern caused a sensation when it came out. We got loads of DMs saying how impactful folk found it. The theme? Male Friendship; how to be a man in this day and age. Superb poets Michael Pedersen and Andrew Greig boldly explored the subject. scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/podcast/lanter…

Sound the pub day alarm! 📢 Been an absolute pleasure working with Rodge Glass on this gorgeous book, which you simply MUST read. Launch tonight is a sell out, but plenty more to come. Thanks to those who have supported it so far. Welcome to the world, Joshua in the Sky 🌈

Fire Engines were one of Edinburgh’s most influential post punk bands. As a definitive compilation is released, read an exclusive extract from Neil Cooper's accompanying essay, in which the group’s Davy Henderson talks about the band’s early days. heraldscotland.com/life_style/245…
