Yeah, But What is a Poetry Book? with Simon Lamb

Join poet Simon Lamb on an inspiring, engaging and entertaining exploration into the world of poetry books.

Participants will then dive into multiple worlds themselves, spending time with the books, sharing their discoveries. Finally, participants will have the chance to ask Simon questions on all things poetry, concluding this warm and nourishing session.
