麻豆约拍

Poet Laureate Simon Armitage and Liverpool-based saxophonist and composer Daniel Thorne join Elizabeth Alker and an audience at the Trades Club in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire.

Simon discusses the responsibilities of a poet laureate during a pandemic - and his theory that the comfort of poetry can be found in paying attention - as poetry is the art of concentration.

And a recollection of Iceland leads him to ponder the question... is there a North?
