From rap artists and performance poets to poetry slams and 24-hour poetry marathons, Friday 30 July marks a vintage year for National Poetry Day with more events than ever before happening throughout the country.

Poetry stars Sam Hunt, Michele Leggott, Kevin Ireland, Albert Wendt, Jenny Bornholdt, and Poet Laureate Cilla McQueen are among the line-up in more than 50 events planned around the country.
