Packed with an eclectic mix of beloved classics and hidden gems, the poems in Allie Esiri’s new seasonal collection A Poem for Every Autumn Day arrive like early gifts, each holding a special connection to the date on which they appear. In an unmissable Edinburgh International Book Festival Online event for the 2020 programme, Esiri lets you in on the secret formula behind her choices; while a roster of famous faces, including Helena Bonham Carter, Jamael Westman and Tobias Menzies, make an appearance to offer a peak of the soulful poems you have to look forward to as the nights get darker. This special event was directed by Paul Weiland, filmed at Belcombe and features musician Andrew Madingley. Belcombe provides the perfect backdrop with each poem being read in a different location.
