She also talks about the constant role of poetry in her life and reads from her latest poetry collection, The Book of Mirrors. Norwegian film-maker Erik Poppe talks about working as a conflict photographer during the 1980s and why he still makes films in some of the world's most dangerous places. His latest movie is the semi auto-biographical feature called A Thousand Times Good Night. Paul Barton has always been a talented pianist.
