Jackie Kay

My Teenage Diary Series 4
Episode 3 of 6

Poet Jackie Kay returns to her 1980s teenage years as a right-on, politically active student. With Rufus Hound. From July 2012.

My Teenage Diary returns with six more brave celebrities ready to revisit their formative years by opening up their intimate teenage diaries, and reading them out in public for the very first time.

Comedian Rufus Hound is joined by poet Jackie Kay who revisits her politically active student years in the early eighties, when she went on every demo she possibly could. She shares some of her early poetry, and talks about what a revelation it was to finally meet and make friends with other black women when she was at university.

Producer: Harriet Jaine
A Talkback production for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4.
