A Cold Coming

on BBC Radio 3

Continuing the programmes to mark his 60th birthday, Tony Harrison reads his powerful poem inspired by a newspaper photograph of a charred Iraqi soldier during the Gulf War.
Harrowing, touching and humorous, the poem gives voice to all victims of 20th-century war. Other poems by Harrison will be read between programmes through the week.
