William Sieghart The Poetry Pharmacy Live

William Sieghart has had a long career in publishing and the arts. He established the Forward Prizes for Poetry in 1992 and founded National Poetry Day in 1994. He was awarded a CBE in the 2016 New Year Honours for services to public libraries. His Poetry Pharmacy began touring in 2014; since then, and particularly since the publications of the hugely beloved The Poetry Pharmacy (2017) The Poetry Pharmacy Returns (2019) and The Poetry Pharmacy Forever (2023), he has prescribed thousands of poems up and down the UK over hundreds of hours of in-person consultations.
