Michael Rosen: Silly and Not So Silly Poems

Join author and poet Michael Rosen as he takes you on a trip around some of his best-loved books of all time. Michael’s poetry covers the full spectrum of human life and in this event expect to be treated to poems on migration, Michael’s recovery from Covid-19 and the benefits of pasta (as opposed to cat food). Michael talks to Daniel Hahn.
