Talks at The Smith: What Makes A Loud Poet

Over the past ten years, Loud Poets have been showcasing and celebrating the power of poetry and spoken word performance. Their influence extends all over Scotland and beyond. As one of the company’s directors and leading lights, an academic as well as a practitioner, Dr Ailes is our perfect guide to ‘loud’ poetry. With explanations illustrated by performances, this will be an entertaining and enlightening pre-Christmas session like no other.
