麻豆约拍

麻豆约拍 Radio 4's Poet in Residence, Daljit Nagra revisits the 麻豆约拍's radio poetry archive.

In 'The Echo Chamber', Clive James talks to Paul Farley and reads his staring-death-in-the-face poems.

Clive James has been a poet throughout his life as well as a literary critic, memoirist and television pundit. He didn't expect to be alive for this collection, after illness and old age took him in their grip a couple of years ago. But, against the odds, he's still with us. And his recent poems are extraordinarily clear-eyed and fearlessly moving. He manages to be light throughout whilst remaining, as one critic put it, deadly serious.

Producer: Tim Dee.

First broadcast on 麻豆约拍 Radio 4 in 2015.
