New Zealand poet Hera Lindsay Bird has gained a cult following for her writing about sex, emotion and Monica from Friends. She's performing at three events in Scotland this week.

Marian Keyes is in Glasgow to talk about her latest novel The Break, and using writing a way of exploring personal issues.

Love is Dead, the third album from Chvurches, the Glasgow synth-pop trio now based in New York, and War Light, the new novel from Michael Ondaatje, returning to some of the themes he explored in The English Patient.
