The Singing Man: Charles Causley
The song unended he had brought from field
Andfolkofchildhood.... Lines from a poem in his forthcoming collection which could describe Charles Causley himself. Now 71 and one of Britain's finest poets, he has published 30 books, yet there is no sign of his song ending.
The landscape and history of Cornwall figure strongly in his work and it is peopled with characters remembered from his early days.
He talks to Damien Grant about his life and work. Producer JULIAN MAY
