Milosz and Dickinson
Roger McGough presents a selection of poems by Czeslaw Milosz and Emily Dickinson, read by Peter Marinker and Eleanor Tremain.
Roger McGough presents a selection of poems by Czeslaw Milosz and Emily Dickinson read by Peter Marinker and Eleanor Tremain. A Polish veteran of many of the upheavals of the middle of the Twentieth Century and a Nineteenth Century New Englander who kept to her house and communicated with the world by post: perhaps not much connects these poets and yet their poems speak to one another across the years. Producer: Tim Dee.
