Daring the Depths

on BBC Radio 3

In an increasingly secular language, how can a contemporary poet address those themes which have been central to the literary tradition from Milton to Eliot? Poet and critic Jeremy Hooker talks to major poets preoccupied with religious themes - including Seamus Heaney , Donald Davie , Les A Murray and a rare interview in English with R S Thomas. Can poetry in English still dare the great depths? Producer Michael Roberts
