Simon Armitage: ‘I went into poetry because it was alternative’ In his hometown of Marsden, West Yorkshire, the poet laureate is performing in what he calls a ‘middle territory between poem and song’

‘He’s previously insisted that song lyrics and poems are entirely different forms, but admits that LYR has edged him towards “pitching words into a middle territory between poem and song.’’ Tom Clark #SimonArmitage #LYRBand #poetry #song
