The Twenty-Second Aldeburgh Poetry Festival
Director’s Introduction
Special festivals always generate new connections – mental and physical, spiritual and emotional. And for contemporary poetry, nowhere is more electrifying than Aldeburgh.
Suffolk's seaside setting and the timing at the cusp of autumn and winter make the weekend hard to resist. But it's the programme – its originality and the absorbing journeys on offer – that's the real thing: an unrepeatable, memorable, shared experience.
World-class writers from America, Ireland, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria and Sweden join forces with outstanding UK poets for this year's ultimate poetry gathering. The vital 'stay against confusion' we all need. Don't miss it.
