An Evening With…

Nine years ago, Brian Bilston began publishing short, pithy and often humorous poems on Twitter, which were instant hits. His poems were spread widely on social media, gaining him 400,000 followers and the title ‘the Poet Laureate of Twitter’. Since then, he has published three collections of poems and a novel (Diary of A Somebody) that was shortlisted for the Costa Book Award.

He has also been named the ‘Banksy of the poetry world’ as he hides his face behind a book in all publicity photos. He is a tremendous performer and his year-round UK tour events always sell out.
