Amina Atiq
More listener requests curated by a guest poet.
Roger talks to the Yemeni born poet Amina Atiq. Growing up in Liverpool she often found it hard to be accepted and a feeling of not belonging is central to her poetry. Amina chooses favourite poems selected from the requests sent in by listeners to include work by DH Lawrence, Danez Smith, Zaffar Kunial and Anne Stevenson.
