Simon Armitage

Wilderness Tracks // Timber Festival

After a brilliant 2021 Timber Festival, we're back with another episode from this year's celebration in the National Forest. Poet Laureate, Simon Armitage, joins his old friend Geoff to talk about his shifting relationship with nature, gushing over his encounter with Iceland and Björk's serene 'The Anchor Song', performing poetry up and down the Pennine Way and amongst other things, the magnificent invention of the CD Walkman and the portability of music.
