Linlithgow MSP Fiona Hyslop has sponsored a Poetry in Parliament event aimed at showcasing how arts and culture provide new and powerful perspectives on climate change.
Fiona’s event, ‘Poetry in Parliament: A Voice for the Climate Emergency’ was co-hosted by Creative Carbon Scotland and Creative Scotland.
It featured work by four Scotland-based poets: Kathleen Jamie, the Scottish Makar; Canadian-born Alycia Pirmohamed; north east-based poet, Jo Gilbert and Shehzar Doja, a Bangladeshi poet based in Glasgow whose family and friends are currently living with the impacts of climate change.
