The first in a series in which the poet Pelé Cox and her pupil, the former journalist Rich Uridge, discuss poetry as a tool for a creative life. They explore the differences between writing news reports and writing poetry with the help of another journalist – Dylan Thomas and his poem Fern Hill.
Plus why it’s important to read widely in order to write well and stand any chance of finding one’s own poetic voice.
Oh, and why a sonnet is like a Cornish pasty. Yes, really!
