Thomas Hardy & WordPool highlights - live on air

Live on air! 

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

Tonight's show will focus on the work of Thomas Hardy and we have recordings of Hardy's Wessex Poems read by a variety of contributors.

We'll also be going through some of the highlights from Friday's live broadcast at WordPool where we got to talk with poet Terry Caffrey, two of the minds behind WordPool, and many others.

For those interested in reading Hardy's work, this is a link to an online version of his Wessex Poems: http://www.theotherpages.org/poems/wessex.html

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: ESSEX GIRLS.

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.

To be a part of the experience find Fylde Coast Community Radio on any one of the links at the side of this page.
