Contemporary British Poets on Figure of Speech
I’m grateful to have spent a half-hour on WRBH radio this past week, on their new show ‘Figure of Speech‘ hosted by L. David Benedetto. Particularly delightful was the chance to bring a selection of contemporary British writers to an American readership, poems and poets I came to love during the many years I lived overseas. A full setlist and archived recording of the broadcast is available on Soundcloud; if you’d like to listen live, the program airs each week on Saturdays and Mondays.
