It has been said of Ray Charles that he does not just have soul but was the one who invented it. Richard
Coles traces Charles's career from his emergence in the fifties to tonight's performance at the Barbican Centre in London. He also discusses new work from some of America's most distinguished poets, including John Ashbery and Mark Doty. Meanwhile, Bill Buford of the New Yorker has his palm read as he explores an American boom in fortune-telling.
