The Verb - Family Time - Experiments in Living
Download Family Time - Experiments in Living
Ian McMillan explores the language of ancestry and the impact our families have on us across the generations and through the passing of time. With poets Hollie McNish whose grannies feature prominently in her latest collection 'Slug...and other things I've been told to hate', and Gillian Clarke whose new bilingual edition of The Gododdin - written by the 13th-century Welsh bard Aneirin - acknowledges what we inherit from the past. And columnist and author of 'House of Glass' Hadley Freeman, who found a shoebox of objects in the back of her grandmother's closet which told the story of four Polish siblings whose lives went in very different directions.
