Tell it slant has moved!

by Pedalling Poetry

Tell It Slant poetry bookshop in Glasgow has moved! After Locavore Garnethill was sadly forced to close, our lovely friends at Locavore took us with them to their Govanhill home. We are now open! We had a wonderful launch Thursday 25th with poetry and tunes at our new beautiful spacious venue at 349 Victoria Rd. We were very honoured to have poet Mona Kareem to read in Arabic and English. She has just launched her book I Will Not Fold These Maps with the Poetry Translation Centre this month, a dual language edition. We also had more poetry readings, an open mic, and music from Glasgow favourite Jim McAteer and friends. Arabic, English, Scots, Shetlandic and Gaelic were all heard on a wonderful opening night event! Thanks to all those who attended and read a poem, sang, or just listened! We hope to make this a monthly thing. More to follow!
