The PLS are big fans of Brian Bilston, who told us he was very influenced by Philip Larkin's poetry.

We're delighted to announce that @brianbilston.bsky.social is coming to Beverley! Join us at East Riding Theatre on Valentine's Day for a hint of romance (with a difference!) as Brian explores the world through poetry, in a style that's all his own.

Brian Bilston sat at a wooden table, with a cat sat right in front of him on the table. He is holding a book called "How to write a poem" which he's holding in front of his face so we can't see what he looks like.
