'Woman Seated in the Underground, 1941' by Carol Ann Duffy (introduction and poem)
Carol Ann Duffy was invited by the Tate Gallery to select an artwork to write a poem around. She selected a Henry Moore sketch of a woman sheltering on the London Underground during a Second World War bombing raid. The picture helped her to imagine what it would have been like to endure the traumas of war and violence. This is followed by a reading of the poem by the poet.
