The Nightfishing

WS Graham's poem adapted for radio by Jonathan Davidson. With Siobhan Redmond and David Rintoul.

An attempt to make some sense of a difficult and elusive modern masterpiece. The poem was published in 1955. It tells of a fishing trip after herring but much else including the difficulties of writing and of turning experience into words. Its fresh-made language has found it many admirers but it also kept it from many other readers. Perhaps a radio adapatation can unlock it.
