On April 18, Armitage is joined on stage by fellow poets Mona Arshi and Zaffar Kunial for the Royal Society of Literature’s T.S. Eliot Memorial Reading. Arshi’s debut collection Small Hands won her the 2015 Forward Prize, its precise, understated verse announcing the arrival of a major new talent. Kunial’s first collection was released in 2014 as part of the Faber New Poets series, exploring, among much else, the ways in which language informs our sense of self.
The reading is to be held at the Old Theatre at the London School of Economics, and introduced by the poet and former editor of Poetry Review Fiona Sampson. What better way to spend a Monday evening than listening to some of the day’s finest and most promising literary voices?
