**Live Event **
Enjoy a warm welcome back to Paisley Book Festival as we introduce our brand-new theme for this year – Stories Mak Us – and celebrate the fundamental role that narratives play in shaping our lives. In this opening night event, we’ll welcome appearances from Edinburgh-based Latinx poet Andrés N. Ordorica to celebrate his debut poetry collection At Least This I Know, Scots storyteller and musician Alan McClure, and enjoy a special reprise from last year’s Writer in Residence Imogen Stirling as she performs work from her newly published, Love the Sinner. Plus, we’ll share some insights about what’s in store at the festival over the next ten days.
