Poet Daljit Nagra’s weekly pick from the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½â€™s poetry archive is ten years old!

It’s been a decade of excavating programmes and bringing them back into the light. Poetry Extra has found, cleared and broadcast more than 500 programmes.

To mark the 10th Anniversary, presenter Daljit Nagra is joined in the studio by poet and editor Sarah Howe. In 2015, Sarah won the TS Eliot Prize for her debut poetry collection Loop of Jade and here she discusses Foretokens, her first new collection in ten years.

Also, for this special programme, Daljit selects his Pick of the Decade as he chooses some of his favourite highlights from the past ten years featuring poets, presenters and contributors including Paul Durcan, Maura Dooley and Catherine Heaney.

Poet Daljit Nagra was appointed Radio 4’s first Poet-in-Residence in 2015. Part of his remit was to select programmes from the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½â€™s Poetry Archive – 52 weeks a year!
