The acclaimed and respected writer, Simon Armitage, has won numerous awards for his poetry. His new anthology The Not Dead, is a short collection of poems originally aired on a Channel 4 documentary. The poems focus on the testimonies of veterans of the Gulf, Bosnia and Malayan wars - whose voices have seldom been heard before.
In a fitting event for Armistice Day, Simon will read from and talk about his new work - a book of quiet profundity.
Armitage creates a muscular but elegant language of his own to produce poems of moving originality. The Sunday Times
