Blake Morrison (2014 event)

Best known for As If, his landmark book about the killing of
James Bulger, Blake Morrison is also a poet and novelist. He
joined us to read from a new publication, This Poem. Bankers’
bonuses, phone hacking, super-injunctions and Jimmy Savile: these
are just some of the topics he addresses, in verse that is at
once terrifyingly honest and full of wisdom about the state of
contemporary Britain. Recorded live at the 2014 Edinburgh
International Book Festival.
