How AI is changing art, the TS Eliot Prize for poetry and the folk music of wassailing
The judges for this year's T S Eliot Prize for poetry discuss the state of poetry in the UK, and how is artificial intelligence is changing art?
Designer Steven Zapata and artist Anna Ridler discuss whether AI art poses a threat to artists and designers.
Imagine reading more than 200 new books of poetry. That was the task faced by the judges of the T S Eliot Prize. Jean Sprackland and fellow judge Roger Robinson talk to Tom Sutcliffe about their experience and what they learned about the art of poetry today.
Itβs the time of year when lovers of orchards, apples and cider gather to bless and encourage their trees. The tradition of wassailing is ancient, and modern too. Jim Causley from Whimple, Dartmoor, sings wassails old and new, and with artist Simon Pope talk about their project βHereβs to Theeβ.
And in the latest of the poems shortlisted for the T S Eliot Prize, Jemma Borg read her poem Marsh Thistle from her collection Wilder.
