Edinburgh Festival Fringe Spoken Word Free
Sacred Arts Festival Poetry at Canonmills Church: The Shamrock and the Cross – Spectators Under Heaven
Michael Daviot, Claire McDonald and Janet de Vigne
Canonmills Church 21 Aug
Church Hall 13.15 1hr

The Irish poet John W Sexton’s phrase ‘spectators under heaven’ has inspired Michael Daviot, Claire McDonald and Janet de Vigne to present a wide-ranging selection of Irish poetry, drawing on both ancient and modern expressions of faith and spirituality. The intimacy of Canonmills Church – Robert Louis Stevenson’s schoolroom in times past – provides the perfect space.
