Pivots moves into Spring with three local Gentlemen of Letters and a visiting poet who holds the best job title in all of Scottish poetry. No promises about patio weather, but a dream never hurt anybody

UPDATE: LIz Lochhead's trip to Canada has been canceled due to illness. We and our colleagues at VerseFest Ottawa ...are both sad to report that we'll have to get her next time. Let's all wish Liz a healthy recovery. It's not anything particularly serious, luckily, but it does put the kibosh on Transatlantic flying.
