'Fishbones Dreaming' by Matthew Sweeney (dramatisation)
A reading by the writer Matthew Sweeney of his poem 'Fishbones Dreaming'. Starting from the point of view of a set of fish bones as it lies in a rubbish bin, the poem follows the fish back through when it was on a plate ready to be eaten, being stored in a freezer and when it was caught by a fishing boat, before concluding with the fish in its natural environment, where it wishes to stay.
