'Home' is the theme for National Poetry Day 2010. Roger McGough shares poems by TS Eliot, AA Milne and RL Stevenson.
Roger McGough goes through the Poetry Please requests to find poems about the things that make a house a home. Listeners suggest poetry evoking memories of home as a mercurial place of light and shade changing as we grow older. There are poems by AA Milne, UA Fanthorpe, RL Stevenson which together go beyond the mere bricks and mortar into unique places and spaces for childhood and growth, for nourishment, for bereavement and decline.
