Wendy Cope - Poet

Theatres, museums, clubs, cinemas, the whole cultural sphere is
under lockdown in many places all over Europe and beyond. Yet
culture still has a key role in many people’s lives, watching
movies, making music or fine art, reading novels, playing complex
games – and reading poetry. Poetry, so it seemed in more than
one of this podcast’s past conversations, has even gained attention
in the pandemic, as a number of people have turned to poems to find
focus, solace, entertainment and inspiration, to name but a few
ways to appreciate poetry. So it is high time that we have a poet
as a guest in this podcast – and we are honoured and delighted
that Wendy Cope has agreed to join in for today’s episode.
