John Hegley Inspired by Christopher Richard Wynne Nevinson

Comedy, tragedy and a bit of mandolin, John Hegley brings performance poetry to Tate Britain

To celebrate the re-opening of Tate Britain in 2013, leading figures from the worlds of poetry, cooking, fashion, film, photography, music and comedy shared the creative processes behind their own work, inspired by 500 years of British art.

John Hegley is one of the UK's most innovative comic poets with several best-selling volumes of poetry to his name. In this performance he draws connections between his own work and that of painter Christopher Richard Wynne Nevinson.
