Surtsey and Me
4 Extra Debut. Poet-in-Residence Daljit Nagra introduces 'Surtsey and Me', about a new island near Iceland. With Simon Armitage. From September 2004.
Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4's Poet in Residence, Daljit Nagra revisits the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's radio poetry with 'Surtsey and Me' about the emergence of a new island.
Out of the icy seas off the south-west coast of Iceland in November 1963, a massive volcanic eruption gave birth to the island of Surtsey. The same year in West Yorkshire, the poet Simon Armitage was born. They had never met until 2004. More than five decades later, island and poet get together to compare how it's going.
Producer: Tim Dee
