Charlotte Shevchenko Knight
Poetry choices from the guest poet and listeners
Roger is joined by the British-Ukrainian poet Charlotte Shevchenko Knight whose book FOOD FOR THE DEAD has just won the Laurel Prize for a debut collection and last year it won the Eric Gregory award. It’s described as a howl of anguish and an elegant counter-song against totalitarianism.
Charlotte's choices from our listener requests include poems by Warsan Shire, Emily Berry, Gerald Manley Hopkins and Rachael Allen.
Producer: Maggie Ayre
