THIS IS WHAT A POET LOOKS LIKE:
Poems From The Book Hive

Between 6th and 21st May 2011 sixteen poets took it in turns to sit in the large bay window of a Norwich bookshop and write.

Among those chosen for this project were TS Eliot Award winners, Forward Prize nominees and a handful of the UK’s most popular performance poets. Some dressed up, others dressed down, but mostly they looked, well, pretty normal, actually. The public, meanwhile, were fascinated; waving, taking pictures on their camera phones and some times even stopping by for a chat.

All the poets wrote a new poem while stationed in the window and they are collected here in this little anthology.

The poets featured are: George Szirtes, Tom Warner, Lora Stimson, Dean Parkin, Hannah Jane Walker, Luke Wright, Molly Naylor, Laura Elliott, Nathan Hamilton, Tim Turnbull, Helen Ivory, John Osborne, Martin Figura, Sam Riviere, Yanny Mac and Tim Clare.
