Over the course of several years, Simon Armitage has written hundreds of poems for various projects, commissions, collaborations and events, which stand outside of his mainstream collections but now form a substantial body of work in their own right. Some have been published – such as the ‘Walking Home’ and ‘Walking Away’ poems – but the majority has not, and together they cover an eclectic array of subjects including sculpture, the environment, travel, drama, and media. ‘Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic’ represents the nature and scale of Armitage’s work – it is an important reflection of his public engagement as a poet and the astonishing range of his interests and talents.
