Roger McGough introduces a varied selection of poetry requests read by Paul Mundell and Alison Reid. Michael Longley reads a beautiful poem marking his grandson's first visit to his beloved Carrigskeewaun in County Mayo. Roger considers the pros and cons of having an active social life with help from Philip Larkin, Wendy Cope and Owen Sheers. Clare Pollard also recalls the haze of overindulgence at a thirtieth birthday party. Poems from one end of the cynical spectrum to the other, with work by Gerard Manley Hopkins, and a vitriolic piece by Baudelaire.
Producer: Sarah Langan.
