JoAnne McKay will be reading from her new work, Venti. JoAnne is part of a growing band of Dumfriesshire-based poets creating illustrated and hand-sewn pamphlets. Venti is a booklet that can be seen as a piece of art in itself.
Hugh McMillan will be bringing his award winning poems and his performance skills to underpin what will be a great evening.
Entry is free. Coffee, tea, cake and refreshments will be available. The Salon will be held at Thomas Tosh in the Old Parish Hall, 19 East Morton Street, Thornhill, Dumfries and Galloway. DG3 5LZ. Tel: 01848 331 553
