When Simon Armitage burst onto the poetry scene in 1989 with his spectacular debut Zoom! it was clear he would go on to reshape the landscape of contemporary poetry.

Since then, he’s published ten collections of poems, two best-selling non-fiction books and a new translation of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. He’s also written several acclaimed plays including The Last Days of Troy, which recently finished a successful run at the Royal Exchange.

A broadcaster and presenter, he also writes extensively for television and radio, is the author of two novels and the best-selling memoir All Points North.

With the publication of his latest collection Paper Aeroplane: Selected Poems 1989-2014, Armitage will read from and talk about his engaging, darkly comic and irreverent work. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear one of the country’s best loved poets in a relaxed lunchtime reading.
