Postcards from the Village: An East-West Dialogue

4 Extra Debut. Poet Daljit Nagra selects Postcards From the Villages: An East-West Dialogue. With Fiona Sampson and Ioana Ieronim. From December 2015.

Poet Daljit Nagra revisits the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's radio poetry archive with Postcards From the Villages: An East-West Dialogue.

An exchange of two villages at the margins of Europe - one in Transylvania, one in Oxfordshire - inspires new poems from Romanian poet Ioana Ieronim and UK poet Fiona Sampson.

Both have written extensively about their own villages - Rasnov and Coleshill - so what happens when they visit each other's 'great good place'? Ioana and Fiona find some curious parallels between two villages that on first encounter seem very different.

Producer: Emma Harding

First broadcast on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 in 2015.
