Diane Seuss, author of frank: sonnets and Modern Poetry, speaks with poet and critic Sandeep Parmar, author of Faust, Eidolon and Reading Mina Loy's Autobiographies, about her work to date. The discussion touches on the confluence of memoir and poetry, the need for connection with the past and the possibility of existing in the absolute present, and the vagaries of being positioned outside ‘the house' of poetry. Recorded remotely in January 2025. Edited by Frankie Wells. Music by Kwes Darko.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the author of 'I, Claudius' who was also one of the finest poets of the twentieth century. Robert Graves (1895 -1985) placed his poetry far above his prose. He once declared that from the age of 15 poetry had been his ruling passion and that he lived his life according to poetic principles, writing in prose only to pay the bills and that he bred the pedigree dogs of his prose to feed the cats of his poetry. Yet it's for his prose that he's most famous today, including 'I Claudius', his brilliant account of the debauchery of Imperial Rome, and 'Goodbye to All That', the unforgettable memoir of his early life including the time during the First World War when he was so badly wounded at the Somme that The Times listed him as dead.

CAConrad is one of the most productive and inventive poets of their generation. Writing in the New York Times, Tracey K. Smith described how Conrad's poetry ‘invites the reader to become an agent in a joint act of recovery, to step outside of passivity and propriety and to become susceptible to the illogical and the mysterious' – a susceptibility fully evidenced in Conrad's latest Penguin collection, Listen to the Golden Boomerang Return.Conrad is joined by Luke Roberts, Senior Lecturer in Modern Poetry at King's College London.

Even for avid supporters of Ukraine, like me, Ukrainian literature remains and undiscovered country. Today I'm speaking with Uilleam Blacker who can guide on a journey of discovery, to engage with Ukrainian culture and identity. Ukrainian literature has a strong tradition of folk tales and oral poetry, and it has been influenced by the country's complex political and cultural history, including periods of colonization and national struggle. Russian literature, on the other hand, has been shaped by its own distinct history, including periods of imperial expansion and revolutionary upheaval. Ukrainian writers were persecuted in the 1920s during the period of Soviet rule in Ukraine, as part of a process to suppress Ukrainian national identity and culture and replace it with a new Soviet identity; literature was a key tool for this, as it is also for Russia today. ---------- Uilleam Blacker is an associate professor in the comparative culture of Eastern Europe at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies at University College London. He is the author of Memory, the City, and the Legacy of World War II in East Central Europe (Routledge). He has translated the work of many Ukrainian authors, including Oleg Sentsov's short story collection Life Went On Anyway (Deep Vellum). His translations of novels by Taras Prokhasko and Maik Yohansen will be published in the Harvard Library of Ukrainian Literature series. His translations have appeared in many anthologies and journals, including The White Review, Modern Poetry in Translation, and Words Without Borders. ---------- LINKS: https://twitter.com/BlackerUilleam https://www.ucl.ac.uk/ssees/people/uilleam-blacker https://thebookerprizes.com/the-booker-library/judges/uilleam-blacker https://www.hup.harvard.edu/authors/65551-blacker-uilleam ---------- RECOMMENDED AUTHORS: Taras Shevchenko https://taras-shevchenko.storinka.org/ Nikolai Gogol Lesia Ukrainka https://www.hup.harvard.edu/books/9780674291775 Olha Kobylianska https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sunday-Morning-She-Gathered-Herbs/dp/1895571340 Mike Yohansen https://books.huri.harvard.edu/books/maik-yohansen-dr-leonardos-journey Mykhail Semenko Valerian Pidmohylnyi https://books.huri.harvard.edu/books/the-city Yuri Andrukhovych https://www.amazon.co.uk/Moscoviad-Yuri-Andrukhovych/dp/1933132523 Taras Prokhasko https://tarnawsky.artsci.utoronto.ca/elul/Ukr_Lit/Vol02/03-Prokhasko-Unsimple1.pdf and https://tarnawsky.artsci.utoronto.ca/elul/Ukr_Lit/Vol03/06-ProkhaskoUnsimple-Part-2.pdf Yuri Izdryk https://losthorsepress.org/catalog/smokes/ Viktoria Amelina https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jul/03/poem-about-a-crow-a-work-by-the-killed-ukrainian-writer-victoria-amelina War poetry (pre-2022): https://www.wordsforwar.com/ ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the celebrated British poet of World War One. Wilfred Owen (1893-1918) had published only a handful of poems when he was killed a week before the end of the war, but in later decades he became seen as the essential British war poet. His works such as Anthem for Doomed Youth, Strange Meeting and Dulce et Decorum Est went on to be inseparable from the memory of the war and its futility. However, while Owen is best known for his poetry of the trenches, his letters offer a more nuanced insight into him such as his pride in being an officer in charge of others and in being a soldier who fought alongside his comrades. With Jane Potter Reader in The School of Arts at Oxford Brookes University Fran Brearton Professor of Modern Poetry at Queen's University Belfast And Guy Cuthbertson Professor of British Literature and Culture at Liverpool Hope University Producer: Simon Tillotson
