Laureate’s Library Tour
Poetry, conversation and a celebration of libraries – a University of Cambridge online event
‘I want to celebrate the physical space of libraries and take my work back into places that have given me so much.’
Join Yorkshireman and Poet Laureate Simon Armitage and special guest Imtiaz Dharker, Cambridge University Library’s former poet-in-residence (previously involved in a Leeds Phil & Lit grant-supported event), to celebrate historic poetry archives in this unique free event live-streamed from the Rare Books Reading Room at Cambridge University Library.
