It’s up!! We are teaming with @spec_books @colinjherd @uofglasgowasc for the 2020 Speculative Book - featuring responses to #edwinmorgan’s scrapbooks for #edwinmorgan100!! We want YOUR words in response to Morgan’s “visually arresting, playful, dynamic scrapbooks”. @colinjherd is running a workshop next Thursday at @uofglibrary with the books - and you can access them during library opening hours in your own time. Some funds are available via the Trust to help out for transportation for those further afield.
