Bus stops, Cul-de-sacs and rutted tracks – Edinburgh International Book Festival – Edinburgh – 22/08/15 – UK

Spoken word is often labelled as ‘street poetry’ but are the boundaries between the territories of urban and rural poets as sharp as we imagine? This event celebrates the contradictions and expectations of place in spoken word and all the characters therein. Travel through a range of landscapes with sharp-witted and evocative performances from Luke Wright, Deanna Rodger, Mike Garry and Will Burns.
