Patience Agbabi is one of those rare poets who effortlessly crosses the boundaries between page and stage. Her latest book Telling Tales (Canongate 2014) is a retelling of Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales for the 21st Century.

On Saturday, Patience, alongside Sasha Dugdale and Dove Cottage Young Poets Florence Jones, Solomon Russell-Cohen and Heather Hughes, will be performing her celebrated poetry at the Main Reading at 2.00PM.
