Ah-hem. Stop thinking like that. Think like a poet! Dwell in negative capability and write in a way that reflects the sheer messiness of human cognition! That's better isn't it? We meet Dai George and talk about his book How to Think Like a Poet (Bloomsbury Continuum 2024) - where Dai creates a new and generous canon of 24 poets from Homer, Sappho, to Frank O'Hara to Audre Lourde - and looks at their lives and preoccupations.
Now the festive period is upon us, Robin and Peter are in a whimsical mood. So you can expect things like steam trains, OuLiPo and Alfred, Lord Tennyson's spirited good riddance to the old year. Merry Christmas and Happy new year to all our listeners. See you in 2025... Thanks for listening!
