Ian was born on Stornaway and still lives there. He worked for the Coastguard Service for many years but has been a full time writer and artist since winning the first Robert Louis Stevenson Award in 1995. He is currently Reader in Residence, Western Isles Libraries where has been researching traditional stories, recorded in the Hebrides, but from an oral tradition. Ian will take us on journeys both by both land and sea, in poetry and prose and read a selection of his lyrical poems of voyaging.
Stephen writes well of the bare islanded north and its seascapes, its loneliness and stark, sporadic collisions with the geopolitical and industrial-technological realities, of the view from the top of the world. Seamus Heaney, letter to Dangaroo Press.
Ian’s reading will be followed by Bakehouse Floor spots; The Fickle Tupperware Bowl of Fate awaits once more. (If you have poems about voyaging, all to the good but not obligatory.)
Price: £8.00 / £7.00
