'Virtual'  poet Jackie keeps online diary 

SCOTS poet Jackie Kay is to be  "virtual" poet-in-residence in the lead-up to 
National Poetry Day. 
The  Poetry Society, which organises the day, has chosen the theme of 
'identity'.  
Jackie will provide a regular online diary of her thoughts on identity and  
highlight some of the more inspiring events taking place. 
She said: "The  issue of identity is at the heart of our society and involves 
everyone."  
Jackie was born in Edinburgh in 1961 to a Scottish mother and a Nigerian  
father and was adopted at birth and brought up in Glasgow. 
National Poetry  Day will take place on Thursday, October 5.
