Four Northern Poets – Poetry Reading

An evening of vibrant readings by four emerging Northern poets. Beth Davies was appointed Sheffield Poet Laureate in 2024. To mark the end of her tenure, Off the Shelf has commissioned Beth to write a new poem which will premiere on this night. Fellow Hive poets Nathan Graham, Molly Knox and Safa Maryam, all recognised in the Northern Writers’ Awards 2026 will read alongside Beth. This event will also introduce a new Sheffield Poet Laureate. Who will it be?
