New alternative poetry series, with Radio 4 poet-in-residence Daljit Nagra.

Series showcasing the best new poetry and spoken word, presented by Radio 4 poet-in-residence Daljit Nagra. 1 of 4: PJ Harvey and Don Paterson in conversation.

Writing, rage and the lost art of making mixtapes in the first episode of Radio 4's new alternative poetry series, presented by Radio 4 poet-in-residence Daljit Nagra. 

In Episode 1 - The Sound and the Fury - PJ Harvey and Don Paterson talk about why writing poetry is so different to writing lyrics. The poet Kayo Chingonyi takes us record shopping to talk about the influence of music on his debut collection, Kumukanda; and the American poet and memoirist Patricia Lockwood talks about filth, prudishness and anger. 

Produced by Mair Bosworth and Hana Walker-Brown.
