Event blurb:
Join poet Nazaret Ranea for the launch of her debut collection, Nettles. She’ll be
joined by fellow Edinburgh-based poets Gabrielle Tse, Hermione Byron, and
Olivia Calderon for an evening of poetry rooted in belonging, memory, and
identity. Nettles asks what it means to grow up between places, to carry multiple
selves, and to find rootedness in the in-between. This event invites you into that
conversation. This will be a warm and special celebration of the themes at the
heart of the collection. Copies of Nettles will be available on the night, and
Nazaret will be signing books after the readings.
Nazaret Ranea:
Nazaret Ranea is a poet from Málaga, Spain, based in Edinburgh since 2017.

Men and My Women, and editor of For Those Who Tend the Soil, in collaboration
