A Celebration of Birmingham Poet Laureates 1996 – 2006 – with guest poet Chris Tutton plus the first public reading by Birmingham’s new Poet Laureate 2006/2007.
Hosted by Richard Grant, aka Dreadlockalien, Birmingham Poet Laureate 2005/2006
Birmingham honoured its first city Poet Laureate in 1996 with the irrepressible Brian Lewis. Since then nine other poets have taken up the pen to write for the city, along the way encouraging countless others to enjoy poetry. This event features ten years worth of Birmingham Poet Laureates, along with a special performance from guest poet Chris Tutton (the popular wordsmith with a unique blend of ravishing linguistic dexterity). We will also be presenting the first reading by Birmingham’s new Poet Laureate for 2006/2007.
Tickets: This event is free but please reserve a place with the Box Office, see the website Birmingham book Festival.
