Our final headline event of the weekend brings not three but four wonderful poets together to read and talk about their work.
Birmingham's very own Helen Calcutt will read from her break out collection, Feeling All The Kills (Pavilion, 2024). Carrie Etter will read from her fifth full collection, Grief's Alphabet (Seren, 2024).
Poetry royalty, Ruth Padel's most recent collection, Girl (Chatto, 2024) is a Poetry Book Society Special Commendation. Joining them, host of Poetry Unbound Padraig O Tuama will read from his brand new collection, Kitchen Hymns (Cheerio, 2025).
This amazing line-up, a real treat, will be hosted for us by Jonathan Davidson from Writing West Midlands and founder of Birmingham Literature Festival.
