About the event
Join us at The Alchemy Experiment (Glasgow) for the launch of the latest Tapsalteerie poetry book - 'languishing, cute' - with readings from both Maria Sledmere AND Ian Macartney!
'languishing, cute' presents a collection of jittery missives that propels the speculative Scottish canon of Morgan, Gray and Mitchison into a maximalist ‘high femme goth surrealism’ via hyperpop, Celtic futurism and digital culture. Here the poets tend towards e-pistolary contemplations of retro-adolescence, fizzy ecology and mercurial slippy gurlhood to complicate notions of Scottish identity, nationhood, ecology, nostalgia and more.
