Aye Write! Poet Laureate reads at pre-launch event for festival

The Poet Laureate, Carol Ann Duffy, received a warm reception last night when she read from her works at a special event in Glasgow to celebrate this week’s opening of the city’s annual Aye Write!

literary festival.

Ms Duffy appeared with musician John Sansom at the Mitchell Theatre and said afterwards it had been an intense night in front of a very engaged and receptive audience.

“They were very much concentrating,” she said.
