‘Poetry is not only dream and vision,’ Audre Lorde wrote, ‘it’s the skeleton architecture of our lives.’ Join three brilliant national poets – Simon Armitage (UK Poet Laureate), Hanan Issa (Poet Laureate for Wales), and Peter Mackay (Makar of Scotland) – as they reflect on the idea of a national poetic identity, art’s place in responding to the world, and the power of poetry for its own sake (expect a few poems from each of them too!). Chaired by Hannah Lavery.
