Free Literary Salon - Thursday 27 November, 4pm to 6pm

Photo opportunity - at 3.50pm, Thursday at DCA.

This will be the last literary salon before Christmas and we've got a real treat for you - International Scottish Literature with Gavin Wallace and Michael Schmidt.

Literature Director of the Scottish Arts Council Dr Gavin Wallace and Publisher and Chair of Creative Writing at the University of Glasgow Professor Michael Schmidt will be in discussion with us about how we can find new ways with words that both account for national identities while expanding and enriching them. This will be an exciting and stimulating session - with the added bonus of hearing Michael Schmidt read from his own work.

If you need to know more about the wonderful work of Michael Schmidt, here's a link to his page at contemporary writers - www.contemporarywriters.com/authors/?p=authC2D9C28A1129f25BB1HnG2811B84.
