Don Paterson – Toy Fights, A Boyhood

Multi-talented poet, (sometime jazz musician) and twice TS Eliot prize winner, brings us a deeply humane and brutally hilarious memoir about family, money and music but also about schizophrenia, hell, narcissists, debt and the working class, love ,origami and the peculiar insanity of Dundee.

Expect some honest revelations and poetry from Don who Colm Toibin has described as ‘one of the greatest poets now writing anywhere’.

Chaired by Claire Malcolm
