Henry Normal Poetry Hour
Henry Normal
We are very lucky to have the BAFTA Award winning Henry Normal visiting East Sussex Libraries. Henry Normal is a writer, poet, TV & Film producer. His discovery of the stunning countryside around the East Sussex coast has inspired his latest poetry collection.
He was recently given an honourary doctorate of letters by Nottingham Trent University, another by Nottingham University and has a beer and a bus named after him!
