Poetry festival launched by Ted Hughes calls for peace
12 April 2012
A poetry festival founded in London by Ted Hughes more than 40 years ago is to return to its political roots.
Poets from 27 countries will discuss modern conflicts, such as Afghanistan and Iraq, at Poetry International 2010: Imagining Peace at the Southbank Centre from October 30 until November 7.
The late Poet Laureate started the festival in 1967 to promote world peace.
