Three poets whose work reflects the variety of the British poetry scene. Two short poetry films give a flavour of Kayo Chingonyi’s arresting poems, most recently in A Blood Condition and Victoria Adukwei Bulley unquiets the Quiet in her collection of that name. The third film features an intense performance with Em Strang who asks What Gladness Can Poetry Offer? You can also watch a film about Ledbury Poetry Festival bellow.
