New poems from Simon Armitage
Today we celebrate World Book Day 2010, the biggest celebration of books and reading across the UK and Ireland. And while the focus is rightly on schools and children, there's no reason why the adults can't join in, is there?
Launched this coming Monday are the latest poems from Simon Armitage, perhaps the UK's foremost poet, playwright, biographer and novelist: "the front man of his generation", according to Poetry Review. The Motorway Service Station as a Destination in its Own Right will be published on 8th March, and is available to pre-order now.
Simon Armitage is also the author of The Not Dead, a collection of poems on modern warfare that draws on the experiences of veterans of the Gulf, Bosnia and Malaya, and originally aired on a Channel 4 documentary film of the same name in 2007.
