Poet Daljit Nagra revisits the 成人快手's poetry archive and selects The Echo Chamber - James Fenton.
Paul Farley meets the poet James Fenton who has, in his varied life, also been a war reporter, a gardener and and a lyricist.
He received the Pen Pinter prize in 2015 for his writing.
His poems of exile, emigration and conflict written over 40 years of travelling into assorted bad lands remain extraordinarily telling documents.

Plus, Daljit reads from a recently published Poetry Extra Book of the Month: Skeletons by Deborah Landau.
