		Armitage uses a numbers of metaphors to represent damp washing on a line.
		Armitage's point is that by trying to be clever with images a poet can (a) become blinded to reality, as if he's got a cataract; or (b) not say anything other than attempt to show off.

	Ottawa XPress - Books - Poets Ken Babstock and Simon Armitage
		Babstock and Armitage are bold voices who have breathed life into a nearly cadaverous poetry world by infusing new perspectives on contemporary experience into their work, and raw energy into laying words down on paper.
		Armitage is almost Babstock's British counterpart except with more books under his belt.
		O'Meara says Armitage's appeal stems from his talent for turning "pub talk into poetry." Like Babstock, communal experience is front and centre in poems about mechanics topping up brake fluid, mussel farmers, and taking the piss out of the rich at tennis, golf and fisticuffs.

		Anyway, [a very nice chap] called Simon Thackray runs an arts venue in the miniscule village hall - a kind of Tardis, which somehow manages to combine a toilet, a kitchen, a stage and seating for a few dozen people.
		Not surprisingly, given its size (or surprisingly, given its location), it's full to the rafters for every event, and I've given readings there, accompanied on one occasion by a didgeridoo player.

	Kid by Simon Armitage
		Amongst the most successful and widely read of younger English poets, in this reissue of his 1992 book Kid demonstrates the easy appeal of Simon Armitage's verse: his ability to mimic the quotidian voices of "real life", his acts of social ventriloquism which imply a literary version of verbal democracy.
		Occasionally, poems move through such closely observed detail towards a sudden symbolic or metaphoric turn--a sudden crystallisation of insight.
		Part of the "New Gen" of British poets and a major player in the British poetry scene, Armitage's is a voice of importance.
