Saturday Night Headline Event: Imtiaz Dharker, Helen Mort, Hannah Sullivan

This year’s Saturday evening headline features three incredible poets, all giants in their way on the contemporary UK poetry scene. We’re thrilled to welcome Queen’s gold medalist for poetry Imtiaz Dharker back to VERVE for the first time since 2018. Joining her will be Helen Mort, whose latest collection, The illustrated Woman, was short-listed for the Forward Prize, and Hannah Sullivan, whose debut full collection, Three Poems (Faber, 2018), won the TS Eliot Prize and is reading from her brand new book, Was it for This. Hosting these three amazing poets for readings and discussion is Jo Bell, renowned poet and co-author of How to be a Poet (Nine Arches Press, 2017).
