In 2022, the Edwin Morgan Trust supported the event ‘Truth Prevails’, an event at which a group of Czech and Scottish poets met face-to-face for the first time following a series of digital encounters organised by Literature Across Frontiers. The group considered whether the Czech motto ’Truth Prevails’ still applies in our post-truth era, if art and poetry speak truth to power, and what truth would that be in a time of societal polarisation and political turmoil across Europe.
