Edinburgh City of Literature

We're so pleased to share that @morag_caimbeul has been selected for the 'Crossing Tongues' Poetry Residency!

Morag said: "I am thrilled to have been selected. There are many similarities between Hausa culture and my Hebridean heritage. What a joy to unite languages and cultures across countries and borders, encouraging oral traditions to thrive while welcoming modern expressions of art. I can’t wait to experience my first Dandali (ceilidh!)."

Morag will travel to Abuja, Nigeria, for the Hausa International Book Festival (HIBAF) in December!

Follow along here to see what Morag gets up to.

Thanks to our partners @ptbopoetry @openartsng_ and @hausabaf for making this opportunity possible!
