About This Event

The Highlight Talk featuring Alan Riach on The Poetry of the Sea will take place in the Robertson Room at the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum in Ayr. This talk will delve into Riach's new book, exploring themes related to the sea in poetry. Attendance is free.

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.
