Love poems and how to write one with Imtiaz Dharker

Just in time for Valentine's Day, the award-winning poet Imtiaz Dharker has selected her favourite ‘Love Poems’ for a collection for the Folio Society.

There are recent and ancient poems, poems that talk about the animal magnetism of love and others of more profound devotion, but they have all been arranged carefully to speak across centuries and cultures.

Imtiaz joined Emma Barnett on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour to share her favourite poems and also some writing tips for those who want to compose something for the person they love for Valentine’s Day.
