Jackie Kay

Jackie Kay is one of our finest writers and poets, winning 2011 Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust Book of the Year for Red Dust Road. She will be reading from her new collection of short stories, Reality, Reality (the title story was written for Aye Write!). All the stories have voices that will not let you go: that give flight to rich inner lives and provoke laughter and tears. As ever, in this newest and most luminous of collections, Kay finds dignity in solitude, humour in love, and something universal in longing. Part of Aye Write!
