A Love The Words Special! As part of Writers in Transit, Leeds is hosting a poet from our twin city, Dortmund. Ralf Thenior will be co-hosting the programme with Peter Spafford, reading his own work, talking about his city and about the In Transit project. Peter and Ralf will be talking to a number of guests about the value of international cultural exchange. What is it? How does it work? What may come of it? There will also be an interview with Bellow Theatre Company, Adrian Sinclair of Chapel FM, and with Kristina Assmann-Gramberg from Leeds City Council about the Leeds European Capital of Culture bid.

Love The Words More #47

Tue 12th Sep '17, 8:45pm

LTW(More) with Laura Potts. ‘From the very first poem to the podcast collection and the future to come, Laura Potts speaks to Leeds-based poet James Nash on his entrance to the writing world. Sprung from the need for new language with which to understand a newly-publicised sexual consciousness, Nash will discuss his pivotal decision to come out and the role which writing has played in his life ever since’. Plus an interview with the cast of The Shed Crew, a new adaptation of the novel set in East Leeds, produced by Red Ladder supported by the West Yorkshire Playhouse.
