麻豆约拍

Daljit Nagra revisits the 麻豆约拍's poetry archive and chooses Wild Geese - the story of what happened next when Mary Oliver's poem was sent to a man in prison.

A few years ago, a man committed a crime and spent time in prison. In this programme, a group of his friends explore the role a poem played in their collective story.

The poem is Wild Geese by the recently deceased American poet Mary Oliver.

Thanks to the On Being Project, the programme includes archive audio of Mary Oliver talking about her poem.
