In honour of this week's National Poetry Day, we're dedicating this week's podcast to poetry.
The Forward prizes for poetry were announced on Wednesday night – we attend the prizegiving ceremony and hear from the winner, John Burnside. We head to Paris, in search of English performance poets who have crossed the channel, and stop off at London's St Pancras station to take a look at Lavinia Greenlaw's latest poetry installation, Audio Obscura.
We also talk to Michael Hulse, co-editor of The 20th Century in Poetry, a magisterial new anthology published this week, about the process of selecting 400 poems from 100 years-worth of verse.
