The House I Grew Up In

BBC Radio 4's Poet in Residence, Daljit Nagra revisits BBC radio's poetry archive with 'The House I Grew Up In', featuring Jackie Kay.

Recalling a childhood in Glasgow which inspired her to write, the poet takes Wendy Robbins to meet her mum and dad back at the family home.

Adopted at birth, Jackie was raised with her brother - the only black children in the neighbourhood. Meeting friends, relatives and neighbours, Jackie reveals how her childhood experiences inspired her to start writing.

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 2007.
