Gregory Leadbetter is a poet, Professor at BCU and Director of the Institute of Creative and Critical Writing.  His regular evenings of poetry readings are headlined by professional poets, and also include slots for students to read their work, airing a fresh and varied selection of voices that is as diverse as the student intake itself.  Informal and invigorating, these short sessions reflect the wide variety of voices and styles of British contemporary poetry, and celebrate the vibrant West Midlands poetry scene. 

The evening features Gregory reading his own work alongside guests including New Delhi-based writer Uttaran Das Gupta.
