Why it's so essential that you sigh
The sigh of a lover in ecstasy or despair. The ghostly sigh of an invisible being in a ghost story. The sigh of relief, or in the face of extreme beauty. Award-winning poet Imtiaz Dharker explores the physiology and psychology of sighing and whether animals sigh.
First broadcast on The Sigh, 21 December 2016.
