A.F. Harrold

TOAST is poetry, but not as you know it. Norfolk’s biggest poetry night returns to the Festival Speak Easy for three days of poetry, spoken word, storytelling and performance from some of the UK’s best poets and performers… redefining what poetry is and can be.

A.F. Harrold is an English poet who writes and performs for adults and children. He spends his time showing off onstage, writing poems and books, and stroking his beard (it helps churn the ideas). He is the author of The Song from Somewhere Else (illustrated by Levi Pinfold), the Fizzlebert Stump series, and the CILIP Carnegie and Kate Greenaway Medal-longlisted The Imaginary (illustrated by Emily Gravett). He lives in Reading with a stand-up comedian and two cats.
