A week of specially commissioned new poems from five of the best voices in poetry today.
5: The Shadow of God by Ken Smith. Every Lent, the streets of Mohacs in southern Hungary go wild with noisy, hairy, masked men as the Buso
Festival takes place - a vision of the ancient world in the 20th century. Ken Smith 's poem records this and one of the triggers for the mayhem - the slaughter of 30,000 Hungarians in one day by the invading Turkish army of the Ottoman Empire in 1526.
