In-between Days
Roger McGough presents poems that look forward and back for an in-between time of year. There are memories and desires, some regrets, but poems of hope and expectation too.
Winter is over but Spring has not quite sprung. Roger McGough presents a selection of poetry requests for an in-between time of year which looks both forward and back. The programme's full of memories and desires, some regrets; but poems of hope and expectation too. Expect stars, trees, childhood escapades, journeys taken (and not taken); things viewed across distances of time and space. Producer James Cook.
