Synopsis Author

Poet Laureate

Originally commissioned for BBC Radio, Simon Armitage recasts Homer's epic as a series of dramatic dialogues. His version bristles with the economy, wit and guile that we have come to expect from one of the most individual voices of his generation.

Simon Armitage

One of the country’s most recognisable poets Simon Armitage has carved out a niche for himself as a wry observer of popular culture and documenter of 21st century British society. Since his first collection Zoom! in 1989 his vibrant Northern vernacular and the informality of his subject matter have been mainstays of British poetry ever since.
