Dial-a-Poem

Available for over a year

Brian Patten, one of the original Liverpool poets, explores how radical, subversive and occasionally risqué poetry - rooted in the counter-culture of the late 1960s - became available to a mass audience at the end of a phone line for the first time. Dial-a-Poem changed the public face of poetry for generations. Producer: Llinos Jones A Terrier production for BBC Radio 4.
