He said: "It's so brilliant to see Nottingham Poetry Festival grow into one of the very best in the country.
"The community engagement, the energy, the breadth of quality and innovation now rivals any poetry festival in the UK."

He added: "I'm delighted to be performing free shows at the city's libraries and hope friends old and new will come along and say hello and bring along a poem themselves."
