New British Poetry Stars Reunited: Simon Armitage, Jackie Kay, Lavinia Greenlaw and Glyn Maxwell is a 2010 Durham Book Festival event.
Twenty years ago, four poets toured the UK under the banner of the New British Poets promotion, heralding the arrival of an exciting new poetry scene. it’s now 20 years on and at the behest of our Festival Laureate (Simon Armitage) they are to be reunited for this special event in Durham. Are they older and wiser? What difference have the years made to their writing? Simon Armitage is the author of many award-winning collections of poetry, the most recent of which is Seeing Stars. Jackie Kay is a poet and prose writer whose poetry collections include Life Mask and Darling. Lavinia Greenlaw is a poet and novelist whose recent work includes the collection Minsk and the novel, The Importance of Music to Girls. Glyn Maxwell is a poet and writer whose recent work includes the collection Hide Now and The Girl Who Was Going to Die.
