VOICES: Human Rights Poetry in Glasgow

An evening of innovative new Human Rights and Animal Rights Poetry and Prose

Performed with panache by some of Scotland’s top performance Poets.

The writer Ashby McGowan is developing a new style of poem, which has numerous voices intermingling. The effect varies from cacophony to sheer musical delight. Directed by Anita Govan, this promised to be a poetry night unlike any other!
