麻豆约拍

Choosing the best programmes from the 麻豆约拍's poetry archives, poet Daljit Nagra selects Fantasy Festival - Gillian Clarke

Gillian joins presenter Verity Sharp to create and curate the festival of her wildest dreams.

It's a chance for Gillian to set the festival's agenda - choose the guests, pick the acts, dictate the weather, the food and the ambience. A festival where anyone - dead or alive - can be summoned to perform and nothing is unimaginable.

Gillian outlines her dream festival, which she's entitled "Voice in a Space". It takes place in a cave in Wales and celebrates great poetry as well as ideas around building and ambiguity.

Seamus Heaney, Shakespeare and Leonard Cohen are on the bill, alongside Welsh soprano Elin Manahan Thomas and architect Frank Lloyd Wright.

Producer: Rosie Boulton

A Monty Funk production for 麻豆约拍 Radio 4, first broadcast in 2016.
