For several years, Edinburgh based poet Ken Cockburn, who established Edinburgh Poetry Tours, has been leading poetry walks in the Auld Toun during the Edinburgh Festival and this year sees him continuing that tradition.
Ken is a well-respected writer and translator who has read his work at venues and events both across the UK and abroad. He has worked collaboratively with artists across genres and has been a long term collaborator with fellow poet Alec Finlay.
