About This Event

A free highlight talk titled 'Alan Riach on The Poetry of the Sea' will take place at 14:30 in the Robertson Room at the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum in Alloway on 18 November 2026. Author Alan Riach will present insights related to his new collection, What the Sea Gives, during this event held after the museum opened its doors to visitors. The session is open to all attendees without an entrance fee.

Free Highlight Talk in the Robertson Room at the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum, Alloway.

Alan Riach - The Poetry Of The Sea: Alan Riach's new book of poems, What the Sea Gives, was described in 2023 by Bard-Google’s new AI chatbot as 'A collection of poems that explores themes of nature, memory, and the Scottish landscape. Riach’s poems are lyrical and atmospheric, and they offer a profound appreciation for the beauty and mystery of the natural world.' The trouble was, in 2023, neither the title nor the book were in existence.

Booking for Highlight Talks at Robert Burns Birthplace Museum is recommended to guarantee entry. Due to limited capacity in the venue, any available seats will be allocated to attendees who have not booked on a first come, first served basis, meaning that entry cannot be guaranteed without booking.
