The 35 events include author readings, discussions, performance poetry and workshops with guests covering the whole spectrum of writing. Bluecoat artistic director Bryan Biggs says: “We look at writers who have challenged the status quo in their work, from Malcolm Lowry to Bob Marley, to a new generation of spoken word innovators and writers getting beneath the surface of the turbulent political and economic times we are experiencing.”
Guests include award-winning global journalist Ed Vulliamy, the grandson of department store pioneer TJ Hughes; BBC producer Colin Grant and Red Men author John Williams.
