This wide-ranging series of recordings of leading contemporary poets has been originated by the British Council with Bloodaxe Books. Each two-hour double-cassette is a poetry quartet of four poets reading and talking about their work, each writer with a half-hour selection.
Poetry Quartets: 8 brings together four writers whose poems tell stories, whether from life or imagination, from ballads to dramatic monologues: Charles Causley, David Constantine, Lavinia Greenlaw and Poet Laureate Sir Andrew Motion.
This authoritative series reflects the diversity and excitement of today’s poetry. With further Quartets released each year, it forms a classic collection of poetry’s liveliest voices – essential listening for anyone interested in modern poetry.
