Following the success of The Shingle Street collection of poems and concerts, in 2023, Blake Morrison published a new collection of poems: Never the Right Time, which form the basis of this new show of his poems accompanied by music from The Hosepipe Band.
This series of poems carry a strong sense of passing time, with themes evoking emotions tied to moments of joy and sorrow, longing for the past, and the pleasures of the senses, all framed within the context of everyday life. Through this lens, Blake captures both the humor and bittersweetness of life’s transitions.
The second half of the evening will be devoted to poems from other poetry collections by Blake.
