Poetry Break with Nicholas Murray

Stephanie Norgate speaks with Jane Draycott about dramatising the life of a pioneering undercover woman journalist, giving voice to the collapsing landscapes of West Sussex and her out-of-doors childhood in Gilbert White’s Selborne.

Alan Jenkins speaks with John Greening about winning the Forward Prize, the moment he knew he would spend his life writing poetry, and the role of loss and death in his work.

John Greening and our host Julia Copus discuss two favourite classic poems by Edward Thomas, ‘The Owl’ and ‘Adlestrop’, in Poetry Break.
