Walter de la Mare

on BBC Radio 3

1873-1956
A selection of his poems for adults and children introduced by ANTHONY THWAITE
' There must be many people now adults whose first exposure to poetry (apart from nursery rhymes) was in the classroom and to a de la Mare poem.' Anthony Thwaite presents a new view of de la Mare's poetry, in which he stresses its adult interest, its concrete simplicity and poignant awareness of death and the past.
