"Carol Ann Duffy has the same size feet as David Beckham?!" A Front Row special

If like me you missed the Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy's interview with Mark Lawson on Friday's Front Row you can still download it as part of the Front Row daily podcast to listen to at your convenience. If podcasts aren't your thing ("And why not?" I might ask) you can still listen on the Front Row website.

The Poet Laureate talks about how she feel in love with poetry, her new collection of poems as well as the story about the pair of football boots David Beckham promised her in return for a hand-written copy of the poem she'd written about him. Apparently she's still waiting.

For poetry lovers this Thursday there's a National Poetry Day special, Saturday Live Poetry Pop-Up, featuring the Saturday Live poets on Radio 4 Extra hosted by Richard Coles with music by Cerys Matthews.

Also on Sunday (and still available online for the next five days) previous Poet Laureate Andrew Motion talked about National Poetry Day with Jarvis Cocker on 6 Music's Sunday Service.
