Publisher's Synopsis
This wide-ranging series of recordings of leading contemporary poets has been originated by the British Council with Bloodaxe Books. Each two-hour double-cassette is a poetry quartet of four poets reading and talking about their work, each writer with a half-hour selection. Poetry Quartets: 5 brings together four leading women poets: Helen Dunmore, U.A. Fanthorpe, Elizabeth Jennings and Jo Shapcott. This authoritative series reflects the diversity and excitement of today's poetry. With further Quartets released each year, it forms a classic collection of poetry's liveliest voices - essential listening for anyone interested in modern poetry.
