We recently received this invitation from Aga Wlazel at Aberdeen Performing Arts.

Good afternoon,

As a book lovers you probably have heard about Aberdeen Performing Arts Culture Café programme at the Music Hall – we hope to see your group at our upcoming literature talk.

Culture Café guests this season are:

24th September 1pm at the Music Hall

DON PATERSON – one of the finest poets of his generation (and that’s quite a generation!)  He has won all the major poetry prizes. His poetry is lyrical and profound, witty, sensual and spiritual, and he’s a captivating reader of his own work. In addition, he has published books of aphorisms and written radio drama, and he’s Poetry Editor at Picador.

20th November 1 pm at the Music Hall

SIMON ARMITAGE is one of the most genuinely popular poets writing today, right up there alongside Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy, producing work that receives the highest critical acclaim and yet is truly accessible. He was named the Millennium Poet in 1999 and was made a CBE in 2010. He has also written fiction, drama and opera libretti, and is a regular on national radio and TV. In performance he is brilliantly droll and deadpan – wickedly funny.
