Pulitzer prize winner Annie Proulx on her book Barkskins; jazz star Richard Bona's album

Pulitzer prize winner Annie Proulx on her book Barkskins; jazz star Richard Bona on his new album Heritage and Somalian poet Amina Jama performs.

Pulitzer prize winner Annie Proulx talks about her new epic book, Barkskins. The Cameroonian born jazz star Richard Bona tells about his new album, Heritage, and we hear from the octogenarian Brazilian poet Adelia Prado. 

The legendary film composer Ennio Morricone gives a rare interview.  Talented young British Somalian poet Amina Jama performs for us.  And, 30 years after his death, Irene Caselli asks whether Argentinians still read Borges? 

Also, Stephano Sollima discusses his new film set in the dark underbelly of Rome’s suburbs and we find out what makes a good national anthem.
