Journeys into Poetry: Joelle Taylor, Andrew McMillan & Toria Garbutt - Contains Strong Language Festival

Meet three poets whose storied lives have provided a rich seam of material for their work.

In this session, Joelle Taylor, Andrew McMillan and Toria Garbutt interview each other: they will choose a small selection of their poems, and use each one as a jumping-off point to discuss the circumstances that led them to pick up a pen (or a microphone).

This session offers a rare insight into the ways writers take real life experiences and turn them into poetry.Presented by the BBC and National Poetry CentreStart time: 2pmRun time: 1 hourIf you wish to book a wheelchair space, or have any access-related requests, please contact our box office team on 0161 876 2015 to discuss your requirements and make your booking.Please note, a ticket booking confirmation does not guarantee your entry to this event.
