Poetry Portraits

Poet in the City presents the finale of a year-long project celebrating some of the UK’s leading poets through fine art. Poets including the late Seamus Heaney, Sir Andrew Motion and Wendy Cope have been captured in a series of stunning portraits, by artists from Lavender Hill Studios.

With live readings and conversation, this special event will ask what it means to be a poet. Exploring ideas of identity, the personal and the craft of poetry, Poetry Portraits sheds new light on the work of some of our most important contemporary voices.
