The Verb - Something New
Ian McMillan is joined by poets Michael Symmons Roberts, Kate Fox, Jacob Polley and sound designer Amanda Priestley to celebrate the rich variety of new poetry commissions written for the BBC's centenary year. The show includes work from the Sound First scheme (Radio 3 and BBC Contains Strong Language working together to find the best emerging sound design talent in the UK) - three poems with evocative sound design. Also, we share the very last commission in our Something New series, by Sinéad Morrisey - called Charm.
Sound First work featured:
Speaker - poem by Jacob Polley, sound designer Nicky Elson
Atlas - poem by Joelle Taylor, sound designer Amanda Priestley
Root Your Words in the Earth - poem by Malika Booker, sound designer Louis Blatherwick
