Leeds Lit Fest 2026

Acclaimed poet Kim Moore's new collection 'The House of Broken Things' is an astonishing portrait of a mother. Her body as tender, contested territory. Her instincts fierce. Her mind alive with memories of her own childhood, marvelled by love for her young daughter, sharpened with foreboding for her safety in a broken world that has so often made to break her, too. This is a thrilling new work from one of our boldest and most exciting poets.

'The House of Broken Things' is Radio 4 Poetry Extra's Book of the Month for April 2026.

In this festival event, Kim presents a reading from the book, followed by an audience Q&A.

Standard tickets for this event are priced at £8, but we have also included an option to buy a £10 ticket if you would like to support Leeds Lit Fest by giving a little more.
