Acclaimed poet and performer Patience Agbabi presents an inspired remix of all the stories of Chaucer’s Middle-English masterwork in her new poetry book, Telling Tales (Canongate, 2014). From the Miller’s Tale to the Wife of Bath’s, this boisterous and lyrical collection of tales gives one ofBritain’s most significant works of poetry thrilling new life.
Telling Tales is described by Jeanette Winterson as a “pilgrimage of punks, badasses, broken hearts, beat poets, silver-tongued fixers, town criers, beauties, sinners… a poem on wheels”.
Telling Tales national tour is produced by Renaissance One.

Aldeburgh is the UK’s pre-eminent annual celebration of national and international contemporary poetry.
With the programme’s trademark mix of well known or international names, lesser-known voices and exceptional newcomers, the Festival presents a fresh line-up every year.
The 60+ events, 30 Poets, 10 venues comprise readings, workshops, discussions, craft-talks, close-readings, performances and exhibitions – many of them free – the aim being to offer an immersive weekend of words, a chance to experience the very best of today’s poetry from every angle.
