Featuring readings of FW Harvey, TS Eliot, WB Yeats
Two acclaimed writers perform their own poems and share work by poets who have inspired and on occasion influenced their work.
Duncan Forbes is the author of six collections of poems, the most recent being Lifelines. He’s won many prizes, including an Eric Gregory Award with particular praise from Philip Larkin. Vernon Scannell said of him ‘Duncan Forbes is a real discovery’.
Ann Drysdale‘s popular poetry collections include Between Dryden and Duffy, The Turn of the Cucumber, Gay Science and Backwork. She is the current holder of the Dylan Thomas Prize for poetry in performance and delights readers with her witty, playful, yet erudite poems. Ann shares her own poems and work by Frederick William Harvey DCM, often known as Will Harvey, and dubbed ‘the Laureate of Gloucestershire’ whose poetry became popular during and after World War I.
Duncan shares work by TS Eliot and WB Yeats alongside his own.
