StAnza Poetry Festival in St. Andrews
StAnza is an annual festival that is dedicated to celebrating poetry in all its many forms. While the focus of StAnza is primarily on Scotland, it aims to be international in its outlook. The charming town of St. Andrews is a prominent center for higher learning in Scotland and is home to the country’s oldest university. It therefore seems fitting that St. Andrews plays host to this popular poetry event. StAnza 2008 will be held from the 12th to the 16th of March at a number of superb venues in St. Andrews.
