Language

Ian McMillan explores the wonderfully different ways we use language with poets Daljit Nagra, Nasser Hussain and Safiya Kamaria Kinshasa.

Ian McMillan is looking at, and listening to, the wonderfully different ways we use language with three poets: Daljit Nagra whose new collection Indiom celebrates language in more than forty different poetic forms; Nasser Hussain whose poems take us deep into individual words often creating patterns so that build something new, and Safiya Kamaria Kinshas; a poet, dancer and choreographer whose work weaves together dance and poetry on the page and stage. And we’ve also got one of our new Verb Audio Dramas made in collaboration with ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Writers and the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Audio Drama North team: No Smoking In The Ground by Matthew Smith.
