AWW23: Simon Armitage and Friends - Simon Armitage, Julia Cimafiejeva, Max Gillies, Sarah Holland-Batt & Shaun Micallef

Chair: Sarah Ferguson

When Sarah Ferguson was 14, she took out her most decorative stationery and wrote to Philip Larkin asking him why his poetry was so bleak. As host of ABC’s 7.30, Ferguson remains an avid poetry reader. She joins us for a celebration of Simon Armitage, the British Poet Laureate, alongside Shaun Micallef, Sarah Holland-Batt, Julia Cimafiejeva and Max Gillies.
