StAnza, Scotland’s premier poetry festival, which this year stars Carol Ann Duffy, Paul Muldoon, John Burnside, and Louis de Bernières, has begun. The festival at St Andrews from 5-9 March has two themes this year – A Common Wealth of Poetry to tie in with the Commonweath Games being hosted by Glasgow later this year – and Words Under Fire, to mark the centenary of the first world war. The festival's events include poets from India, South Africa, Botswana, Jamaica, Canada, the Netherlands, Croatia, and the US. More details
