Lost Voices - Anne Ridler
4 Extra Debut. Poet-in-Residence Daljit Nagra introduces Anne Ridler, presented by Brian Patten and read by Juliet Stevenson. From April 2011.
ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4's Poet in Residence, Daljit Nagra revisits the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s radio poetry archive with 'Lost Voices: Anne Ridler'.
Brian Patten explores the life and poetry of Anne Ridler, whose quiet and lucid observations of 20th century life are often overlooked.
Born into a literary family, Anne's early employment with the publisher Faber meant that she was working to TS Eliot. Her work, however, is very much in her own distinctive voice: quiet, contemplative, but acute in its observation.
Juliet Stevenson reads a selection of Anne Ridler's poems on themes of the natural world, relationships, the rhythms of human life.
Producer: Christine Hall
