Our resident podcast host, Samuel Tongue, speaks with the Dundee poet Taylor Dyson about her work and her appointment as the new Dundee and Angus Scots Scriever, based at the National Library of Scotland. The residency aims to support the creation of original writing in Scots, as well as the promotion of the language with communities throughout Scotland.
The conversation touches on the local poetry scene in and around Dundee, language and the distinctive Dundee tongue, the intersection of class and poetry, and Taylor's work in theatre as well as a performance poet. Taylor also reads her poem Tae Dundee: which first featured in her one woman show Ain City.
