The Nottingham Poetry Festival starts this Friday - 20 April - and features a huge selection of fantastic poetry events across the city over nine days. To find out more about the festival we are joined on this weeks show by Nottingham's very first Young Poet Laureate Georgina Wilding. Georgina tells us what we can expect from the festival, plus we discuss how she got started in poetry, the opportunities that being the Young Poet Laureate offers her - from performing at fantastic events to being able to present workshops in schools, introducing a whole new generation to the world of poetry. We also discuss attitudes to poetry and more - all in NG Meets... Episode 8. Check out this fascinating chat with Georgina and then head along to the Nottingham Poetry Festival - you can find out a list of events here. Follow Georgina on Twitter
