'An Evening with Daljit Nagra' As part of the 'Everybody's Reading' Festival we are pleased to announce that Daljit Nagra will be coming to Leicester!

Daljit will be spending the evening with us at the very prestigious City Rooms, reading from his work and taking questions from the audience. There will also be an opportunity for local poets to read their work to Daljit after the interval.

In 2004, he won the Forward Prize for Best Individual Poem with Look We Have Coming to Dover! This was also the title of his first collection which was published by Faber & Faber in 2007.
