An exceptional opportunity to spend an hour in the company of two of the UKs top Faber poets, presenting a joint reading of some of their poetry: Jamie McKendrick is the winner of multiple poetry awards. His latest collection, Drypoint , was chosen by William Boyd as a book of the year, describing him as, Quite simply a great poet writing at the height of his beguiling, mesmerising powers. He is author of seven collections of poetry and is also editor of The Faber Book of 20th Century Italian Poems . Christopher Reid too, is a hugely respected, prize-winning poet. His poem Song of Lunch was made into a BBC film starring Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson. He was poetry editor at Faber and Faber, and has edited volumes of the letters of Ted Hughes and Seamus Heaney. In his latest book Toys / Tricks / Traps Christopher looks back at his younger self, testing Wordsworths assertion that the Child is Father of the Man.
