May 30, 2022 Johnbolland Leave a comment

This Saturday, 11 a.m. at Orb’s Bookshop, the Square, Huntly, we’ll be reading from Pibroch, a poetry collection exploring parallels between the Climate Emergency and the Piper Alpha Disaster.

Come down to the Farmers’ Market and, while you’re there, enjoy this free event.
