Iain Morrison
August 2016
In this podcast, Jennifer Williams speaks to Iain Morrison about poetry and art, being able to write about sex and identity, the influence of Emily Dickinson and much more.
Iain has a frequently collaborative practice as a writer and performer, presenting within live literature and live art contexts. Recent projects have included a night of drag queen poetry at the Scottish Poetry Library in January 2016, and Subject Index a durational installation of the complete poems of Emily Dickinson developed in residency at Forest Centre+ and toured to Berlin’s SOUNDOUT! New Ways of Presenting Literature Festival in May 2014. Publishing includes work in the forthcoming collection of Edinburgh poems from Freight, poem-responses to fin de siècle Vienna in the Austrian Cultural Forum’s Kakania anthology, and writing in magazines such as Gutter, The Burning Sand, HOAX, Soanyway and Scree.
