About Paisley Book Festival Opening Night: Stories Mak Us

In this opening night event, we’ll welcome appearances from Edinburgh-based Latinx poet Andrés N. Ordorica to celebrate his debut poetry collection At Least This I Know, Scots storyteller and musician Alan McClure, and enjoy a special reprise from last year’s Writer in Residence Imogen Stirling as she performs work from her newly published, Love the Sinner.

Plus, we’ll share some insights about what’s in store at the festival over the next ten days.
