ScotlandsFest: Trust Issues, Fake News, Real Poems

Alan Riach’s new poems centre on the question; what – and who – can you really trust, these days? What the Sea Gives was described in 2023 by Bard-Google's AI chatbot as: ‘A collection of poems that explores themes of nature, memory, and the Scottish landscape. Riach’s poems are lyrical and atmospheric, and they offer a profound appreciation for the beauty and mystery of the natural world'. In 2023, neither title nor book existed – but they do now! Delivered live, in person, not by hologram.
