Declarations on Freedom for Writers and Readers by Sir Tom Devine

Declarations on Freedom for Writers and Readers by Sir Tom Devine

Conceived and realised by Scottish PEN, this anthology of poetry and prose explores freedom of expression. The year 2020 marks the 700th anniversary of the Declaration of Arbroath, a letter to the Pope from the Scottish Nobles asking for the freedom to exist as a nation. The need to hear and understand each other is as urgent now as it ever was.

'In these difficult times, PEN said the need to hear and understand each other is as vital as it ever wasPEN International has been campaigning for freedom of expression for almost 100 years.'

'This rich anthology won’t merely be relevant to the 700th anniversary of the Declaration of Arbroath, the poems and prose will remain relevant until humanity accepts the individual’s right to freedom. Sadly, thus, this book will remain relevant for many years to come.'

-- Liv Niven * Gitanjali and Beyond *

A brilliant collection. I particularly enjoyed the letters towards the end. An anthology that takes you deep into Scottish history, heritage, and culture, and then takes you across the world.

It is a celebration of freedom of expression - an assertion of our fundamental right to speak and to write, to read and to listen, to call power to account in the face of injustice.
