Elizabeth Barret Browning

This weekend! 

Saturday night's edition of A Poetry Show will be playing for two hours from 8pm on Fylde Coast Community Radio.

This week's show will focus on the work of Elizabeth Barret Browning and we have recordings of her Sonnets from the Portuguese read by a variety of contributors.

We'll also be going through some of the highlights from last week's live broadcast at WordPool where we got to talk with poets, writers and some of the minds behind WordPool. We're also hoping to talk live with celebrated poet, and judge of this year's WordPool poetry competition, Polly Atkin.

As usual, the poetry will be mixed with a talented collection of jazz and swing performers and lots of inane and pretty unrelated and highly irreverent chatter. As always, there will be some great music and lots and lots of fun.

There's also going to be a theme to this week's show: NEW HOMES.

To read Elizabeth's poetry before the show, check out: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/2002/2002-h/2002-h.htm 

If you want to participate you can tweet poems to @ashleylister on Twitter, or share poems through the facebook page https://www.facebook.com/apoetryshow, or send mail direct to ashleyrlister@gmail.com. We'll read the best stuff out live on air.
