Birmingham Literature Festival
Poetry on Demand with Bradley Taylor
We will be joined by Birmingham’s own award-winning poet Bradley Taylor, who will be using his typewriter to perform Poetry on Demand. You can give him as much or as little information as you like on absolutely anything – and he will type you up a poem right there on the spot.
Described as a ‘brand new voice and a fresh perspective on the art of poetry’ by Craig Charles, Bradley has performed Poetry on Demand at the Hay Festival, Cheltenham Literature Festival and on BBC News.
Running time approx. nine hours
