To celebrate Book Week Scotland, Lavery will talk with National Librarian Amina Shah about the process of writing the book and how her experiences as a woman of colour in Scotland have shaped her writing. About the book In 'Unwritten Woman', formerly quieted realities are pushed to the front. The collection, part re-telling of Robert Louis Stevenson's 'The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde', spotlights the women once written out. Emboldened, we join characters as they step into the centre of the page and scream until the void, the margins and in between the lines (anywhere our stories have been pushed to), come into sharp focus: out of the haar emerges community, people to shout furiously with, until we know that our experiences are truth – reality.  — Titilayo Farukuoye About the authorHannah Lavery is an award-winning poet and playwright.
