4Talent award winner Luke Wright returns to Norden Farm after his successful 2008 show. He performs his poetry-packed show, A Poet’s Work is Never Done, with ten new poems at Norden Farm on Wed 20 May at 7.45pm. Tickets are £8.50 (£6 conc).

Luke writes poems that young, fresh, funny, thoughtful and observant. He performs on TV and radio, writes a blog for his website and also does education outreach work: he is bringing poetry into a new light and is duly receiving credit for it. He writes poems about MySpace, family and growing up, and is such an entertaining man, well, his reviews speak for themselves and he should be snapped by local press and radio! “Visceral, poignant and riotously funny.” The Scotsman “Performance poetry’s key revivalist.” Metro Since 2006 Luke has launched his own curve-ball bid to become Poet Laureate, programmed and hosted Latitude’s poetry arena (the largest poetry event in Europe) and has become the newest poet-in-residence on BBC Radio 4’s Saturday Live. In 2009 he took contemporary poetry onto primetime TV, writing all the poetry for Channel 4’s The Seven Ages of Love, a 30 minute documentary that gained ‘pick of the day’ in 8 national publications and was broadcast to over a million people. His first book, Who Writes This Crap?, co-written with Joel Stickley, was published by Penguin in 2007. A live show based on the book enjoyed a sell-out run at Edinburgh 2008. His spoken word album - The Rise and Fall of Luke Wright, Esq - is available to buy.

One of Luke’s poems: 7 July 2005 Through conflicting reports on coffee-breaks Through Calvin Klein ads and Angelina and Brad, Jordan’s boob job and Paris Hilton’s dog I rang friends in London. James walked West End street until his feet ached; Sarah ate popcorn and watched CNN; Joe pitched up drunk at Olivia’s door; stuck at work, Chris read facts: Ten million Russians died in World War One. Brazil has more Avon Ladies than soldiers. Ringo is the oldest surviving Beatle. Pigs can’t look at the sky.
