A world premiere event and major national commission from 14-18 NOW, Norfolk & Norwich Festival and Writers’ Centre Norwich opens the 2016 City of Literature programme.
Perhaps no art form captured the complexity and terror of the First World War more acutely than poetry. As we approach 100 years since the Battle of the Somme, Fierce Light brings together outstanding international poets with filmmakers and visual artists to explore the war and its legacy in the 21st century.
Join Simon Armitage and Daljit Nagra for live readings of their poems alongside work by Yrsa Daley-Ward, Jackie Kay, Bill Manhire and Paul Muldoon, plus excerpts from a series of specially commissioned short films.
Accompanying this event will be a special exhibition of films, poems and images at East Gallery.
Price: £18.00
Time: 7:30pm
