Simon Armitage: Flit

Flit is a fully illustrated collection of 40 poems by Simon Armitage, poet in residence at Yorkshire Sculpture Park.

In 2017, disillusioned by the domestic cultural scene and in search of a more depersonalised aesthetic, the poet Simon Armitage relocated to the small mid-European state of YSP, and more particularly to its eponymous capital city. With no local contacts and only an out-dated pocket dictionary to hand, Armitage rented a small apartment in a former leprosy hospital and spent a year exploring YSP’s medieval backstreets, latter-day shopping malls, housing districts, redeveloped docks and rural hinterlands.
