Poetic Archives

on BBC Radio 4 FM

In celebration of Thursday's National Poetry Day 2000, Roger McGough dusts off the finest poetic moments from the BBC radio archive. He hears the reedy voice of Stevie Smith musing on the poet's need to write about "the unhappy", Lord Reith reciting Robbie Burns in Scots dialect, and a rather well-spoken Dylan Thomas reading Under Milk Wood. Producer Claire Jones
