About

Human Geography was Poet Laureate Simon Armitage’s first-ever poetry pamphlet, published in 1986 when he was just twenty-three years old.

It was a time for him of experiment and potential – ‘when I felt like a nobody but could dream about being anybody’.

That spirit of possibility, openness and youthful optimism is captured in the poems themselves.

Forty years on and with a new, retrospective introduction, this signed edition returns us to the starting point of Armitage’s extraordinary writing life.
