The Echo Chamber - Wendy Cope and Lachlan Mackinnon

Daljit Nagra revisits the BBC's poetry archive and selects The Echo Chamber - featuring married poets Wendy Cope and Lachlan Mackinnon.

Paul Farley hears poems from Wendy Cope and Lachlan Mackinnon at their home in Ely. Since 'Making Cocoa for Kingsley Amis', her first collection, was published in 1986, Wendy Cope has been among the most popular of poets in Britain and her poems have lent ideas to the national imagination. Her husband, Lachlan Mackinnon, has published four highly regarded collections too and is a great poet of love and loss as well as being as funny as his wife.
