Tell It Slant poetry bookshop in Glasgow has moved! After Locavore Garnethill was sadly forced to close, their lovely friends at Locavore took Tell It Slant with them to their Govanhill home. They’re now reopening with poetry and tunes at their beautiful spacious venue on Victoria Rd.

Mona Kareem
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.

Jim McAteer
More poetry readings, an open mic, and music from Glasgow favourite Jim McAteer and friends.
