Presenter Rick O’Shea explores the diverse and vibrant world of poets and poetry in The Poetry Programme.
This week in the Poetry Programme Rick O’Shea speaks with Colm Tóibín about his new book ‘On Elizabeth Bishop’. The novelist offers a deeply personal introduction to the work and life of this American poet, who is one of his most important literary influences. The programme also includes a rare recording of a reading by the poet herself.
The Poetry Programme: For everyone who loves poetry. And those who just don’t know it yet.
