Words and Wine with Leena Norms
Get into the festival mood with a tasting menu of poetry and wine! Joe Trotter from Edinburgh’s independent wine merchants Great Grog will take you through a tempting array of delectable wines, sharing each drink’s story and history while you sip. A poetic pairing will be provided by poet, vlogger and presenter Leena Norms.
From the politics of ice-cream to the permission slip you didn’t know you needed, Leena’s collection Bargain Bin Rom-com is a tongue-in-cheek look at living on a planet filled with both doom and glitter.
This event is for 18+ only and ticket price covers the drinks (and poetry) at this event, but please note that there will be no non-alcoholic options.
This event will be BSL interpreted.
In partnership with Great Grog

These poems amplify whispered stories and recover myths from each corner of the British Isles. They tune into unheard frequencies of language as they find new ways to navigate elegy, absence and joy.
