Poetry Please - Poems for Dark Days

Daljit Nagra revisits the BBC's poetry archive and chooses Poetry Please - Poems for Dark Days presented by Roger McGough.

Poems to get you through the saggy bit of the year between Christmas and spring, to sustain us during the dark days of late winter, and to bring comfort and cheer (whether our dark days be actual, personal or political).

Listener requests for poems by Raymond Carver, Kathleen Jamie, WH Auden, Emily Dickinson and many more are read by Siobhan Redmond and Peter Marinker.

Producer: Mair Bosworth.

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 2017.
