John Burnside (2017 Event)

One of the most acclaimed writers of his generation, poet,
memoirist and novelist John Burnside treats us to two new works.
The hugely praised Ashland & Vine is the beautifully woven
tale of an unlikely friendship between a grieving, semi-alcoholic
widow and the elderly woman of whom she hopes to record the
family history; Still Life with Feeding Snake is a poetry
collection which hovers with great assurance on the brink of
epiphany. Chaired by Stuart Kelly, this event was recorded live
at the 2017 Edinburgh International Book Festival.
