Launch: Poetry Review Summer 2010

In the Conference Centre, with Ruth Padel.

'Off the Page', the summer issue of Britain's leading poetry magazine, Poetry Review, is a celebration of poetry in action - in performance, across art forms and in Britain's thriving workshop culture.

Providing the action this evening is prize-winning poet Ruth Padel, who will read new work. A discussion will follow, in which she and Fiona Sampson explore themes emerging from the issue.

Padel's latest collection, Darwin: A Life in Poems, was shortlisted for the Costa Poetry Award. She has just published a novel, Where the Serpent Lives.
