What Kind of Times Are These?

Bbc Radio 4
About this episode

‘What Kind of Times Are These?’ is the title of a poem by the brilliant American poet Adrienne Rich whose work covered many turbulent years. What kind of times indeed? Ian McMillan is asking his guests this week to provide their poetic answer to this question. With specially commissioned work from both the winner of this year's TS Eliot poetry prize, Joelle Taylor, and the writer, actor and Twitter Queen Miranda Keeling. Kiri Pritchard-McLean brings her comedic response to our question and award winning poet Emily Berry talks about her new collection Unexhausted Time which re-shapes and re-moulds our fragmented and fractured age.
