SUMMARY:SCOTLAND & POETRY Celebrate Modern Poetry and the Legacy of Robert Burns
DESCRIPTION:Listen and join in to Gus Noble’s conversation with prize-winning poet and author Michael Pedersen\, one of Scotland’s brightest young talents. \nOn the 264th birthday of Scottish poet\, Robert Burns\, who is widely regarded as the authentic voice of Scotland\, Michael and Gus will chat about the enduring resonance of Burns’ words and wit\, views and values\, politics and peculiarities. Beyond Burns\, they’ll discuss Scotland\, friendship\, music\, oysters\, poetry and Scottish identity. \nMichael Pedersen is a prize-winning Scottish poet and author. He’s produced two acclaimed collections of poetry with a third slated for release in summer 2023 (Little Brown). His prose debut\, Boy Friends\, was recently published by Faber & Faber to rave reviews in the UK and North America. Pedersen won a Robert Louis Stevenson Fellowship\, the John Mather’s Trust Rising Star of Literature Award\, and was a finalist for the 2018 ‘Writer of the Year’ at The Scottish Culture Awards. With work anthologised by Pan MacMillan and Canongate Books\, his writing has attracted plaudits from voices as diverse as: Stephen Fry\, Irvine Welsh\, Shirley Manson\, Kae Tempest\, Jackie Kay\, Ian Rankin and Charlotte Church. Pedersen also co-founded the prize-winning literary collective Neu! Reekie! and regularly features on BBC Radio & Arts networks. \nGus Noble OBE is president of the Chicago Scots\, the oldest 501c3 non-profit in Illinois and one of the world’s largest Scottish Societies.  Chicago Scots’ principal charity is Caledonia Senior Living & Memory Care\, an elder care community which has an impeccable record of safety and care throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. \nThank you to our partner organizations the Scottish Government USA\, The National Trust for Scotland USA and The American Scottish Foundation. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Meet Scotland's New Makar on Robert Burns' Birthday
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Event and Q&A – Live 2 p.m. CST\n\nJoin Gus Noble for a conversation with Kathleen Jamie\, on her career\, Robert Burns\, her concern with nature writing\, and the reawakening of poetry today. In her first five months as Scotland’s newly appointed national poet\, Kathleen Jamie\, has already addressed the Scottish Parliament and COP26\, used social media to curate a national nature poem from over 1\,000 submissions\, and continued to use poetry to discuss the pandemic. On her appointment as Makar\, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said\, “Kathleen is a highly accomplished poet who is known for her works in English and Scots\, and the meaningful connections her writing draws between our lives and the landscape around us. I have no doubt she will continue to build on the exceptional work of her predecessors to promote Scottish poetry both here and abroad.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA poet and essayist\, Kathleen was born in Scotland in 1962. Her work concerns nature\, travel and culture. Her poetry collections include The Overhaul\, which won the 2012 Costa Poetry Prize\, and The Tree House\, which won the Forward prize. Her non-fiction includes the highly regarded Findings\, Sightlines\, and Surfacing\, all regarded as important contributions to the ‘new nature writing’. (Surfacing won both the John Burroughs Medal and the Orion Book Award in the USA) Her most recent poetry collection\, The Bonniest Companie appeared in 2015\, and won the Saltire Scottish Book of the Year Award.\n\n\nThis event is complimentary – Registration is required. \n  \nRegister Here
