Simon Armitage has published over a dozen collections of poetry including Seeing Stars (2010), his acclaimed translation of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (2007) and, more recently, The Death of King Arthur (2012). He is also a playwright, novelist and broadcaster, writing extensively for television and radio.
Last summer, The Last Days of Troy, his visceral re-telling of the Iliad story appeared at the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester and Shakespeare's Globe, London and was published by Faber.
Simon Armitage’s bestselling memoir Walking Home (2012) describes travelling the Pennine Way as a modern troubadour, without a penny in his pocket, giving readings en route in village halls, pubs and living rooms. Stanza Stones (2013) records the project to engrave seven poems on the South Pennine watershed.
He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 2004 and awarded the CBE for services to poetry in 2010.
Simon will be reading from Paper Aeroplane: Poems 1988 -2014, a new selection of his work.
