Poetry Societies - Thomas Lovell Beddoes

Poet Daljit Nagra revisits the BBC's radio poetry archive and chooses Poetry Societies - Thomas Lovell Beddoes Society.

As part of a series looking at groups up and down the country that meet to celebrate their love of poetry, Judith Palmer spends an evening with the Beddoes Society at the Dead Poets Pub in Belper, Derbyshire, where the poet's family, together with their friends, gather to raise a glass to their brilliant but flawed ancestor.

Producer Viv Beeby.

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 2006.
