Simon Armitage is one of the most accessible and unstuffy modern poets. He started off in the small press world and is not “poetry royalty”. Inoney Smallhorne cut her teeth with Nottingham’s Mouthy Poets while former Derbyshire Poet Laureate has been published by Five Leaves and Beeston- based Shoestring Press.
The full programme for the Festival is on www.nottinghampoetryfestival.c om
Five Leaves is providing bookstalls at several of the events. We are also selling tickets for the John Hegley evening on 30th April.
