Govanhill Poetry Splash

The 8th annual Govanhill Poetry Splash takes place on National Poetry Day (Thu 01October). For the first time it will be an online event due to COVID restrictions.

This year the featured poets are Jenny Foulds, Nasim Ali, Mitchell Robertson and Iona Lee with music from Zara Gladman. Hosted by Jim Monaghan, it will take place on Mark McGhee’s You Call That Radio? platform and can be watched live on Youtube, Twitch or Facebook.
