Michael Sheen
Actor Michael Sheen makes his selection of poems.
Actor Michael Sheen is best known for playing major public figures but he's also a great lover of poetry. In this edition of Poetry Please he joins Roger McGough to choose some of his favourite poetry that has also been requested by listeners to the programme.
Michael selects poetry by Dylan Thomas including the so-called 'lost' poem A Dream of Winter. As a child Michael says Thomas' work was in the ether and an early memory is of hearing Richard Burton reading the poems.
His other choices include works by RS Thomas, Tom Hirons, Ted Hughes and Robert Graves
