Ian McMillan enjoys last lines in poetry, song, memoir, and novels - and his guests introduce him to different varieties of endings: the trap door, the rug-pull, the fade and many more. Stuart Maconie, writer and broadcaster, is Ian's guide to the bathetic and sometimes dramatic ends to be found in popular song - and explores an ending created by the Cornish poet Charles Causley. Caroline Bird reads a sonnet from her poetry collection 'The Air Year' and reveals the draft that helped her reach the poem and its ending, and fellow poet Sinéad Morrissey shares a work-in-progress inspired by endings: 'Seeing Red', her memoir of growing up in a Communist family in Northern Ireland. Our 'Something' New poem (marking 100 years of the BBC) is by Menna Elfyn.

We're heading off to Cornwall to learn about the poet Charles Causley. His peers in the 1970s regarded his poetry to be on par with Ted Hughes and John Betjeman. Our guest is Nicola Nuttall who is acting director of the Charles Causley Trust, a registered charity that preserves Causley's legacy. The Trust's 2022 Causley Festival of Arts and Literature takes place in Launceston in Cornwall from July 29-31.

The Writers' Block podcasts are conversations between writer Polly Roberts and other Cornwall based writers looking at why we write, the writing process, and the part Cornwall plays in our work.  In this episode, novelist Patrick Gale talks about the intricacies of his writing process; research and use of notebooks, the composting element and his longhand first drafts. Patrick's generosity gives us an insight into the life and work of a writer, who, in his own words, has never had a grown up job. Patrick's latest novel, Mother's Boy, is based on Charles Causley's early life and is available now.    Music, sound production and editing by South West Sonic https://a-m-p.co.uk/

This week's episode is for our listeners who love historical fiction. Mother's Boy by Patrick Gale is a finely wrought novel that centres around Cornwall, class, desire and two world wars. Based on the life of poet Charles Causley, Mother's Boy is the story of a man who is among, yet apart from, his fellows. Charles is being shaped for a long, remarkable and revered life spent hiding in plain sight. As an intensely private young man, Charles joins the navy with the new rank of coder. His escape from the tight, gossipy confines of Launceston to the colour and violence of war sees him blossom as he experiences not only the possibility of death, but the constant danger of a love that is as clandestine as his work. Mother's Boy is published by Headline and available now. We recommend buying from your local indie or you can get a copy from our shop at Bookshop.org.

The Oscar-winning director Kevin Macdonald discusses his follow-up to his YouTube film Life In A Day from 2010, where he invited the public to upload their own footage of their lives taken on one specific day. He then edited those contributions to create a finished film to tell the story of a single day on Earth. For Life In A Day 2020 he received over 320,000 submissions from nearly 200 countries. Jakuta Alikavazovic is a Prix Goncourt winning French writer of Bosnian and Montenegrin origins. She talks to John Wilson about her new novel Night As It Falls which explores themes of identity, first love, class and contemporary anxiety against the backdrop of the war in the former Yugoslavia and is out in English this week. As part of our ongoing mission to bring a bit of artistic light to the darkness, we’ve been hearing about some Moments of Joy – those sudden, intense moments watching a play or a film, reading, listening to music or looking at a work of art, when your heart soars. Critic Hanna Flint's choice is a scene from the film Blinded by the Light – with a soundtrack by the Boss himself, Bruce Springsteen. Continuing the theme, February 2nd is Candlemas, the celebration of the infant Christ's presentation in the Temple, and the coming of light, when all the candles needed for the year were brought into the church, and blessed. Poets have been drawn to the subject - Robert Herrick, T. S. Eliot and Amy Clampitt - all writing Candlemas poems. There are a number of Candlemas customs and sayings - about how the weather at Candlemas predicts the coming season, for instance. The Cornish poet Charles Causley incorporates one of these into his poem, At Candlemas, with which we end Front Row, in a setting by the Dartmoor singer, and relative of the poet, Jim Causley.

Selkie – Still Waters Run Deep.Come, join Kitty and bask under the warm glow of the doe-eyed Selkie.The Selkie story is a familiar one: under the light of the moon, a beautiful woman with milky white skin, long brown hair and big brown eyes, dances on the rocky shore.
