Brian Bilston: How to Lay an Egg with a Horse Inside
Brian Bilston
One of the UK's most hilarious and best-loved poets is here to take us through the hows, whys and whats of reading, writing and enjoying poetry every day. With his characteristic wit and charm, Bilston accompanies us through the jungle of imagination to the source of inspiration, takes us under the bonnet of a sonnet and over the fear of literary devices. He gives us a whirlwind tour through the history of verse – and shows us why human poetry will always triumph over any attempts by AI.
