Guerrilla poets will be roaming Gatehouse of Fleet on Saturday 26 May as part of the Dumfries and Galloway festival’s Big Lit Day in the town. The poets will be accosting folk – in the nicest possible way – in hairdressers, on doorsteps, in bars and along the High Street during the day. In addition there will be poets reading from their own work or launching books, including Katrina Porteous (pictured), John Hudson, and Hugh McMillan, a publishers market of the cream of Scottish pamphlet publishing with free impromptu readings, poems to read in many high street windows, and Dr Who star Annette Badland performing a selection of Carol Ann Duffy’s The World’s Wife poem sequence about the lives of famous men.  The day will end at the Mill on the Fleet with musician and funny-man Ewan McVicar’s songs and stories of outrageous folk singer Hamish Imlach. Tickets can be purchased from the box office, Mill on the Fleet 01557 814099. Further information from The Bakehouse 01557 814175 More details
