A year after his south-west coastal walk, Simon Armitage will be returning to Cornwall to launch his new book at the Porthminster Gallery in St Ives. Armitage gave a reading at the gallery during his “Walking Away” tour last year. Now he will be giving two readings on Thursday 7 August at 7.30 and 8.30pm to launch Paper Aeroplane: Poems 1989 – 2014, his own selection of poems from across a  quarter-century of work. Tickets are £7, available from the gallery, with £3 redeemable against purchase of the book on the night. Telephone 01736 795888 or email info@porthminstergallery.co.uk
