Music, according to that poetic giant W. H. Auden, is the best possible way we have of "digesting time鈥�" For World Poetry Day, Elizabeth Alker celebrates the shared space that music and verse often occupy by playing sounds created at some of the most exciting recent meeting points between the two worlds of poetry and ambient music. We鈥檒l hear from Erland Cooper, Simon Armitage, Kinbrae and Clare Archibald. The perfect way to digest an hour!

Plus: Moor Mother is in the Listening Chair to share a piece of music that inspired and transports her. Dubbed 鈥渢he poet laureate of the apocalypse鈥� by Pitchfork, the Philadelphia-based wordsmith intones with a lyrical urgency and vision fitting for our times.
