Jackie Kay and Nicola Sturgeon

Scotland's Makar, Jackie Kay, has a proud history of writing poetry about believable characters; ordinary people like herself. Her poems are genuine, open and often deeply personal. Scotland’s First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, has long been an admirer of Kay’s work, as well as an advocate of the importance of reading. At the Edinburgh International Book Festival, they discuss the poems Kay is producing in her role as Makar, and her life and career.
