Language is Where the People Are: W.S. Graham at 100

Project Archive

A celebration of the Scottish poet’s centenary. 

The title of the centenary project is taken from Graham’s poem ‘The Dark Dialogues’, and reflects key themes in the author’s work: the difficulty of communication, the importance of community, and the need for humour. The project is supported by the National Lottery through Creative Scotland.
