23rd Aldeburgh Poetry Festival
'Recent US Poet Laureate Kay Ryan believes that good poetry puts ‘more oxygen into the atmosphere: it just makes it easier to breathe.’ Nowhere is the air more revitalising than at Aldeburgh during the first weekend each November.
This year’s 23rd Festival features 25 poets from all over the UK and beyond: Albania, America, Australia, The Bahamas, Ireland, Jordan and New Zealand. Across the programme’s 52 interconnecting events (14 are free), the air-space will pulse with invigorating encounters.
We live in challenging and uncertain times, but we don’t need to worry about the health of poetry. True poems will always survive – because they value the things that really matter.' - Naomi Jaffa, Director of The Poetry Trust
