The National Gallery's Raphael exhibition; critic Alex Clark on The Women's Prize for Fiction shortlist; poet Valzhyna Mort on her collection Music for the Dead and Resurrected.
Dr Matthias Wivel, co-curator of the Raphael exhibition at the National Gallery, discusses the life and death of the Renaissance painter and how he shaped the history of western art.
The shortlist for the Womenβs Prize for Fiction is announced today. Literary critic Alex Clark talks about the six books in contention for the prize, and weβll be hearing from each of the authors before the winner is announced on June 15th.
Belarusian born poet Valzhyna Mortβs third collection, Music for the Dead and Resurrected, was ten years in the making and has only just been published in her home country. She joins Tom to discuss how she blends music and metaphor to confront state sponsored violence and censorship.
