About Talk with Author and Poet Anne Pia

In the year of the 200th anniversary of Baudelaire’s birth, we are delighted to host Dr Anne Pia on Tuesday, 24th August at the Institut français d’Ecosse to read from her recently published book, The Sweetness of Demons (Vagabond Voices;2021) in which she translates some of Baudelaire’s best-known poems and provides her poetic responses to them.

This event can be attended either ON-SITE at the French Institute in Scotland OR ONLINE.

Published on 29th April 2021, this book has been praised as a wonderful celebration and an eloquent and well-crafted appreciation of Baudelaire’s poetry:

- “Anne’s responses to Baudelaire’s poetry comes from her profound love of France’s language and culture, particularly when it looks beyond nationhood…she draws the reader into the intimacy of her own intellectual and artistic journey with deep European roots” (Allan Cameron).

- “Anne Pia is a fresh voice among contemporary Scottish poets” (Professor Alan Riach)

Dr Anne Pia is an accomplished speaker and an award-winning author, essayist and poet. She lives in Edinburgh and is the grandchild of Italian immigrants.
