Scots poet Liz Niven chats to Liam Logan

One of the finest poets writing in the Scots tongue is Liz Niven and, at home in Dumfries, she reads a poem called 鈥楨fter ye cam back fae Malawi鈥� and talks to Liam about her use of Scots.

Liz goes into a lot of schools in Scotland and says the children are delighted to hear her speaking Scots: as are her audiences in Beijing鈥�

The Luath Press have just reprinted Liz鈥檚 book, 鈥楽travaigin鈥�, and she introduces and reads her poem 鈥楶rague鈥� from the collection. (Broadcast: 25 Nov 2006)
