AWW23: Poetry in the Age of Absolutely Everything - Simon Armitage
27 Mar 2023
Chair: Felicity Plunkett British Poet Laureate Simon Armitage is also a playwright, a novelist, a screenwriter and a musician. While he has turned his hand to many art forms, he recognises the continued need for poetry: “It seems to me that, in this age of over-information, poetry is more important than ever, because it refuses to be garrulous and to join in with the constant diarrhoea of information. It is resolutely compact.“ Join us as Armitage looks back on his life and work. Event details: Tue 07 Mar, 10:45am on the East Stage
