On Saturday, I saw Simon Armitage read some of his poems. I haven't read his work since I was fifteen, studying for my GCSEs but when the poet laureate comes to Hunmanby (you won't know it, just google it and you'll see why I'm amazed he went there) you go to Hunmanby to see him.
I went with my sister and it was an amazing evening. He was hilarious. I loved everything he read and talked about and I of course got some books signed.
I've seen quite a few poets over the years:
Carol Ann Duffy
John Hegley
John Cooper Clarke
Hollie McNish
Wendy Cope
Roger McGough
Ian McMillan
I wondered who you've all seen live and who was your favourite?
@Rachel Glass i love Ian McMillan’s podcast “The Verb.” Check it out if you haven’t before :)
