At this final event of the Bloodaxe Poetry Lecture series, Ruth Padel will read from her work which has been described as "approachable, contemporary, cool poems, magnificently varied, daring and imaginative, never short of glittering humour, and fabulously rich". Her recent collections of poetry include Voodoo Shop and The Soho Leopard. For more information, see www.ruthpadel.com.
