Poetry Corner: Birds

Featuring the work of new and established poets plus interviews, stories and field-recording, this episode celebrates Birds.

In this episode we hear the poetry of John McCullough from his fabulous collection 'Reckless Paper Birds'.

We are joined by Sasha Eremina, bird-lover and biologist as she describes her favourite species of bird, a direct descendent of the dinosaurs.

We hear beautiful readings from James Naylor (Ode To A Nightingale, John Keats), Oriel Bathurst (Wild Geese, Mary Oliver) and Matthew Bidwell (Oyster-Catchers, Geoffrey Dutton).
