# Event Details - **Event Name**: An Evening of Poetry with Jane Bonnyman, Annie Brechin & Marianne MacRae - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 07 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Tue, 07 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: Join Jane Bonnyman, Marianne MacRae and Annie Brechin as they read from their latest poetry collectionsAbout this EventJoin Jane Bonnyman, Annie Brechin & Marianne MacRae on Tuesday 7th April, at 7pm, as they read from their latest collections in a showcase of local indie poetry press, Blue Diode Publishing.With 'Date Show', Jane Bonnyman takes a delicious dive into "This Dating Malarkey", as one poem title puts it. Each poem builds a cast of characters from Just a Dude to Storm-Lover to Joe Cool to name a few, and even Gatsby shows up. The search for the fairytale romance is arduous, heart-breaking, and hilarious as a candle-lit dinner, where the author writes, “I lean towards you and set fire to my hair.”Annie Brechin's 'How to Make Love' is no instruction manual. It’s a double meaning, a rumbustious, poetic odyssey through five cities – London, Prague, Paris, Dubai and Edinburgh – and the amorous encounters found there: the hopes, disappointments, frustrations, and heartbreaks, which ultimately lay the foundations of an unlikely path towards real love. These poems reject a sanitised version of romance. They are bold, messy, compassionate, visceral and revelatory. They present ordinary human minds and bodies, fragile and splintered, which they then “chisel into wonder/ over and over.”Marianne MacRae is a poet and researcher based in Edinburgh. Her work has been widely published in journals including Magma, Ambit and Acumen. She has a PhD in Creative Writing and won a Scottish Book Trust New Writers Award for poetry in 2020. Her poem ‘Fox’ won first prize in The Rialto Nature and Place Poetry Competition 2024. 'Recital' is her first full collection.Book your tickets today!-Doors: 6.30pm, event starts: 7pm, please arrive early to secure a good seat.Tickets are £3The bookshop has level access, events are seated and speakers use microphones.
