Including 'Sir Patrick Spens'; 'May Colvin'; 'Fair Margaret and Sweet William'; 'The Gay Goshawk'
Read by Atholl Fleming
Letters frequently appear in 'What the Other Listener Thinks' (and many more come in than can possibly be published) complaining that not nearly enough poetry is read over the air. It is therefore good news for poetry lovers that throughout April, May, and June there are to be afternoon poetry readings every week, in addition to many late evening readings. Today and on April 20 poetry is to be read from 3.45 to 4 p.m. and thereafter every Monday afternoon from 4.30 to 4.45. Poetry lovers may care to make a note of it.
