' Understanding Modern
Poetry ’—2
Edna Thorpe and Humphrey Jennings
A fortnight ago Joseph Keen, who. was asked to come to the microphone because he was a typical office worker, confessed that he took no interest whatever in poetry. On being drawn out by Humphrey Jennings , however, it was shown that this was an exaggeration of the truth.
Today Humphrey Jennings is to bring to the microphone Edna Thorpe. chiefly because she is a typical housewife yet happens to take a great interest in poetry. Listeners should hear from their discussion what special steps poetry lovers are taking here, there, and everywhere to follow the recent developments in the work of modern poets.
