Poetry, Yorkshire & Beyond

Join two highly-acclaimed Yorkshire-based writers for an evening of conversation and performance. Andrew McMillan and Maria Ferguson are known primarily as poets. However, Andrew recently published the highly-acclaimed novel 'Pity', and Maria has written and performed two award-winning one-woman theatre shows.

Alongside conversations led by acclaimed poet Matt Abbott, Andrew and Maria will treat the audience to live performances of their work. Andrew has published three award-winning collections with Jonathan Cape, most recently 'pandemonium.' Maria's second collection, 'Swell', was published by Penguin in January.
