The Poetry Club at St Mungo's Mirrorball

Déjà Vu:- Peter McCarey, Sophie Cooke, Alexander Hutchison

These three scintillating poets gave a great reading at the Edinburgh Book Fringe Festival last summer, and St Mungo's Mirrorball thought it would be a good idea to offer it again in Glasgow.

Peter McCarey, from Glasgow, lives in Geneva. His poetry consists of 'Collected Contraptions' (Carcanet, 2011), reviewed in the TLS and Edinburgh Review, and 'The Syllabary', www.knot.ch, which attracts almost a quarter of a million hits in a good month, partly from puzzled Japanese and Cherokee linguists.

Sophie Cooke won the Genomics Forum Poetry Prize in 2011 with 'Forward Deck', a poem set on a yacht populated by genetically perfect clones; and was long-listed for the Montreal International Poetry Prize with 'Some Things Have Hardened Which We Did Not Wish To Go Hard'. https://twitter.com/misssophiecooke

Alexander Hutchison is currently RLF Writing Fellow at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, and also the mentor for Clydebuilt 5. He recently shed his clothes for an image in a calendar from Wild Women Press to raise funds for type 1 diabetes; the best shots being taken in a bracken patch near Grasmere where Wordsworth composed The Prelude. www.alexanderhutchison.com
