In January 2022 Scotland’s Makar Kathleen Jamie was joined by Innu writer Joséphine Bacon for readings of their own works followed by a discussion and Q&A facilitated by Dr Pauline Mackay, Associate Director of Robert Burns Studies at the University of Glasgow.

Marking the month when Scotland and the world celebrates Robert Burns’ poetry, we recorded two internationally acclaimed poets from Scotland and Québec, who share Burns’ strong appreciation for nature.

This event was presented by Cove Park in partnership with the Québec Government Office in London and Scottish Affairs for Canada, with the support of British Council and the collaboration of Scottish Poetry Library.
