Lost trades | Lost songs - with Jane Commane
Manage episode 427177016 series 2808101
Grip the square steering wheel of your Austin Allegro and let Jane Commane navigate you through the haunted places of the post-industrial Midlands. She treats us to poems from Assembly Lines published by Bloodaxe including UnWeather, quite possibly the best Brexit response we've heard.
We upload this episode on the day of the UK's General Election... So as well as sprinting to the polling stations, we take a moment to delve into the idea of political poetry. Peter reads I Woke Up by Jameson Fitzpatrick a fine example of how the personal is political, and Robin revisits Adrien Mitchell's poem To Whom It May Concern (Tell Me Lies About Vietnam). But thanks to Danusha Laméris's poem Small Kindnesses from her collection Bonfire Opera our faith in humanity is rapidly restored.
