Thank you @juliehes for including National Poet of Wales Hanan Issa's conversation with Roger Mcgough in your BBC Pick of the Week yesterday. On writing when the world is in turmoil and how poetry might help us reconnect. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Thanks for this @juliehes ❤️ As any kind of creative it can be hard to admit when you lose that spark and figuring out how to get it back can be a lonely process so I’m glad it resonates! Grateful to have poetry that helps us fall back in love with this world 🫶

A fantastic episode for you today, with Deryn Rees-Jones Deryn Rees-Jones. Join us at 4pm on BBC Radio 4

Poems are ‘little knots of language’: just happened to switch on the radio in time to catch Deryn Rees-Jones on Poetry Please & I’m so glad that I did. Essential listening for poetry students English at Manchester Met Manchester Writing School when it’s up on the iPlayer.

A pleasure to hear Deryn Rees-Jones on this week's Poetry Please hear her read 'Summer' and learn that she has a new collection out next year. Been too long. Alongside a good selection of other poems there's an interesting discussion of the late John Burnside. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Late discovery - sorry! Available till Thurs 18th 4.30 p.m. - a warm & grace-filled Poetry Please BBC Radio 4. Poems chosen by Hanan Issa include work by Imtiaz Dharker & Menna Elfyn. Delighted to hear Welsh & English readings! Highly recommended... bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
