Poet, critic and literary historian Robert Crawford nimbly traverses the globe in his new poetry collection, Old World, in this special launch event. Crawford is one of Scotland's most esteemed poets and thinkers, deftly weaving between different poetic forms, from haiku to riddle. Join us for an enlivening discussion on the issues afflicting an ailing planet - from climate change to AI - and poetry's role in our fragile modern society. Chaired by Robyn Marsack.
