Ben Okri Rise Like Lions - Politics through Poetry at BuckLitFest
The award-winning poet and novelist Ben Okri has compiled an anthology
of a hundred poems from around the world that celebrate (in the broadest sense) the many voices
of politics, from polemics to meditations, from Shakespeare to Grime.
He will be in conversation with Mark Lawson, best known as a journalist and broadcaster and also a novelist.
Ben Okri is a Vice-President of the English Centre
of International PEN, a member of the board of the Royal National Theatre, and was awarded an OBE
